Fig. 5

Dependence of the mass of the largest remnants on the impact velocity vimp and the impact angle θimp. Upper horizontal axis shows vimp normalized by two-body escape velocity vesc. The mass of the largest remnants Mlr normalized by the mass of an initial planetesimal Mtarget are color-coded. Thus, Mlr∕Mtarget = 2.0 means complete merging. The hatched region approximately shows the transitional parameters from merging collisions to hit-and-run or erosive collisions.
