Distribution of the difference of the longitude of the pericenter (﹩{\rm{\Delta }}\varpi ﹩) of colliding bodies just before the collision in models N16e-3i-3.6 (top) and N16e-1i-3.6 (bottom). The total number of collisions is 204 in model N16e-3i-3.6 and 227 in model N16e-1i-3.6. The mean and variance of ﹩{\rm{\Delta }}\varpi ﹩ are 179° ± 54.°5 in model N16e-3i-3.6 and 178° ± 74.°3 in model N16e-1i-3.6.
