Fig. 5

The transfers capable of producing the present orbits of Sao (left panel) and Laomedeia (right panel). Lower curve corresponds to the minimum impactor speed vim and an impactor mass mi = 1 m⊕. Upper curve left panel corresponds to vim and mi = 1.6 m⊕ which is the same as for viM and mi = 1 m⊕. Upper curve right panel corresponds to vim and mi = 1.35 m⊕. There is no transfer for viM and mi = 1 m⊕. The maximum current eccentricity emax is shown by a dotted line. A (B) is the square of the ratio of the satellite’s speed just before (after) the impact on the escape velocity at the satellite’s location just before (after) the impact. e1m (e2m) is the minimum eccentricity of the orbits before (after) collision.
