Shapes resulting from sub-catastrophic disruptions of rotation ellipsoids. Shown are the results for different impact positions, rotation axes and periods (see Fig. 1 for the impact geometries). The impact velocity is V = 300 m/s and the impactor size R_p = 200 m. The initial target mass is 1.45 × 10¹³ kg and the target axis ratio is 0.7. The mass of the final bodies is of the order of ~70–80% of the initial mass. The case shown in Fig. 2 has the coordinates [+y(6h), +dy].
