Change of spin rate Δω of target (or largest remnant in case ) as function of initial period Ppb of target (here in units of critical period Pcrit) and impact angle ϕimp. The four images correspond to different sizes of the impactor. The energy of the impact is from left to right . The impact velocity was vimp = 5 km s−1 in all cases.
