Distributions of v_kick versus ẽ for objects in the solar neighbourhood (D ≤ 2 kpc) as resulting from the simulations, shown in 2D histograms on a logarithmic colour scale with eccentricity bins of 0.01 and velocity bins of 10 km/s. We show the eccentricities found in four time-bins, corresponding to the bins from Fig. 3. Each distribution also shows the integrated ẽ and v_kick densities (ρ_e and ρ_v, respectively). The dotted black lines show one and two times the circular velocity at R_d = 7.04 kpc (from Eq. (7)). For the distribution of the total population see Appendix C.
