Caption: Figure 21.

Sample of 30 orbits from Figure  20, viewed face-on (top) and edge-on (bottom) with the same orientation as the deprojected images shown in Figure  13. The dashed black line represents the main belt, with pericenter to the lower left. The ascending (red dots) and descending (blue dots) nodes with respect to the belt plane are mostly concentrated within the perimeter of the belt.
