Statistical distribution of (87887) 2000 SS286 and (415992) 2002 AT49 solutions converging within the past 10 kyr. We select all Ntot = 106 possible clone combinations that approached less than ≃ 8 RHill ≃ 4800 km. The abscissa is the time in kyr, the ordinate gives the number of converging solutions grouped in 20 yr bins. The solutions are grouped into four cases of possible combinations of rotation sense of the clones for each of the components in the pair. The sign of cosγ (γ is the obliquity) serves as a indicator of the rotation sense (see the text). The upper two panels are for secondary clones that rotate in a prograde sense (cosγ2> 0), the lower two panels show the reverse.
