Distributions of nominal and median encounter distances ﹩{d}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{}﹩ and encounter speeds ﹩{v}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{}﹩ for encounters with each 95% quantile of ﹩{d}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{}﹩ below 1.5 pc. The left panel represents the nominal values of ﹩{d}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{{\rm{nom}}}﹩ and ﹩{v}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{{\rm{nom}}}﹩. The right panel represents median values of ﹩{d}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{{\rm{med}}}﹩ and ﹩{v}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{{\rm{med}}}﹩. Error bars indicate 5% and 95% quantiles of ﹩{d}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{}﹩ and ﹩{v}_{{\rm{enc}}}^{}﹩ in MC results. The color bar is based on Equation (3) using the median of g.
