Notes. The polynomial, function of the speed of the impactor, is of the form , where n is the degree of the fit, the speed vi is expressed in m s−1 and the cross sections σ in m2. Ranges of validity for impact speeds and energies are given. Confidence levels on the fits are indicated as high (< 25%), medium (25– 75%), and low (>75%; see text).
