Existence of the limiting distribution of the truncated extremal process

Let ϱn,nk\varrho_{n,n-k} denote the point measure of particles at generation nn whose most recent common ancestor with the minimum particle is at least nkn-k generations from the root. A point measure is a measure on the real line that takes values in the nonnegative integers on bounded sets. Limiting-distribution conjecture. For every kNk\in\mathbb{N}, there exists a point measure ϱk\varrho_k such that

limnϱn,nk=ϱk.\lim_{n \to \infty} \varrho_{n,n-k}=\varrho_k.

The authors state that they were not able to study this limiting distribution, although they believe that the law probably exists; no resolution is supplied in the source.
