Domains of destruction of comet nuclei in the plane () for entry angle φ_∗ = arcsin(p/x_∗) to the vertical at r = r_∗. Note the change from linear to log scale on the p/x_∗ axis across the point p/x_∗ = 1 so as to display the very rapid variation in the range p/x_∗ ≤ 1. The axes are scaled with respect to P₆ as discussed in Sect. 2.2. For P₆ = 0.1 the ablation regime becomes a slender strip at 0.99 ≼ p/x_∗ ≼ 1.
