Numbers of collisional families for different critical perihelion distances qcrit at which comets break up and disruption probabilities pcrit during one time step (Δt = 500 yr). In the top panel, we vary qcrit while keeping pcrit = 1 constant. In the bottom panel, qcrit = 1.5 AU is constant and we vary pcrit. We always show the number of catastrophic disruptions with parent-body sizes DPB ≥ 100 km (red line) and 200 km (black line). The error bars indicate typical (1-σ) spreads of Boulder simulations with different random seeds. The observed numbers of corresponding families are indicated by thin dotted lines.
