Notes. The gas density cases correspond to the “standard case” and increase of 200 and 2000 in the gas number density, as discussed in the text. Efficiencies are the mass fraction of the ejected material in the form of molecules or dust clusters.

(a)

Silicates correspond to forsterite clusters, pure metals to Fe, Si, and Mg clusters, and silica to polymers of SiO.
