Number of stars binned as a function of the calculated |h| statistic for both the isotropic cluster (blue) and observed stars (magenta). The vertical lines in this case indicate high |h| values corresponding to tangential orbits (yellow), low |h| values corresponding to radial orbits (orange), and unbound orbits (red). This indicates that radial orbits (or low |h| values) are more common within the sample than orbits within the simulated isotropic cluster. Again, to best model observations, all members of the isotropic cluster with separations of < 2 arcsec from Sgr A* are discarded before plotting.
