Perihelion distance (q; au) versus aphelion distance (Q; au) for 646 JFC-like fireballs observed by DFN (circle), EFN (diamond), MORP (square), and FRIPON (triangle) data points. The coloration is derived from 10 kyr simulations of every object and represents the percentage of particle clones within the simulations that have experienced significant gravitational interactions with Jupiter, raising their perihelion to at least 2.5 au. This threshold is significant as it marks roughly the distance beyond which water ice can begin sublimation, a process that renders JFCs ‘active’.
