Table 2:

Collisional evolution results about Charon.
  Initial Pop. 1 Initial Pop. 2 Initial Pop. 3
N(D > 1) 1545 791 354
$\tau(D > 1)$(Myr) 2.27 4.42 9.9
$D_{{\rm i,\rm Max}}$(km) 14.6 12.5 9.8
C(D > 1) 50 688 34 541 20 351
$D_{{\rm c,Max}}$(km) 32.7 28.9 24

Notes. N(D > 1) is the total number of D > 1 km Plutinos impacting Charon over 3.5 Gyr, $\tau(D > 1)$the timescale on which these impacts occur, $D_{{\rm i,Max}}$ the largest Plutino expected to have struck Charon during the past 3.5 Gyr, C(D > 1) the total number of D > 1 km craters on Charon produced by Plutino impacts over 3.5 Gyr, and $D_{{\rm c,Max}}$ the largest crater diameter on Charon.
