Caption: Figure 6.

(a) Distribution of inverse original semimajor axes of dynamically new (a > 104 au) LPCs is shown for the TIDE (orange) and Flyby_7943 (blue) simulations (weighted with Equation (1)). The observed distribution using LPCs falling in the shaded region of Figure 1 is also shown in gray. (b): Same as panel (a), except the simulated distributions are shifted toward 0 by 10−5 au−1.
