Comparison of the known Hilda population from the MPC (left) and our synthetic Hilda population (right) in semimajor axis (a) and absolute magnitude (H). The vertical line at a = 3.971 au marks the location of the 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Jupiter, which defines the Hilda population. Our input sample reproduces the observed distribution in both a and H while extending to fainter magnitudes beyond the MPC limit.
