The orbital distribution of NEOs from our biased based model (left panels) and the CSS NEO detections (right panels). The two distributions were binned with the same resolution and are shown here in the (a, e) and (a, i) projections. There are no NEOs with the aphelion inside Venus orbit in CSS (and the biased model), because the pointing strategy of CSS had negligible low solar-elongation coverage.
