The projected PDFs of model NEO orbits for different sources (projected p j (a, e, i)): ν 6, 3:1, 5:2, 8:3, 2:1 and JFCs (from top left to bottom right). Higher values are shown by brighter colors. For reference, the red lines show orbits with q = a Earth, Q = a Earth, q = a Venus, and Q = a Venus, where Q = a(1 + e) is the aphelion distance, a Earth = 1.0 au and a Venus = 0.72 au.
