Caption: Figure 6.

Number of converging pair identifications among 5000 clones of (6070) Rheinland and 5000 clones of (54827) 2001 NQ8. Trial identifications were performed every 0.01 years, and the bar graph shows data in each timestep. At the optimum bin, more than 0.1% of trials converged. Note the blank steps, with no converging cases. This is because the convergence repeats roughly once in a revolution period at a certain orbital configuration (see also Figure 11).
