In this work, I present the effects of single passing stars on planetary disks and explore the orbital modification of their components. I analyze the effects of passing stars and look for differences between flyby masses of 0.25 M ⊙ , 0.5 M ⊙ , 0.75 M ⊙ , and 1 M ⊙ . Resultant eccentricities and inclinations of disk particles are fit to mathematical equations to estimate values for them as a function of their semimajor axes and the flyby mass.
