Performing global three-body orbital integration, we investigate temporary capture of planetesimals by a giant planet from their heliocentric orbits. We confirm four types of capture orbits, which were found in our previous local simulation. Shapes of relatively small temporary capture orbits in the vicinity of the planet’s Hill sphere are similar to those found in local simulations, while large c...
