Scaled spin limits for prolate bodies. The colored symbols are the final stable spin rates of the largest remnants in our tidal encounter simulations using an RCP configuration with three different angles of friction, as well as an HCP configuration with two different resolutions, as a function of the largest remnants’ axis ratios α₁. The gray curves are the theoretical spin limits for the indicated angles of friction derived from a static continuum approach using the Drucker-Prager yield criterion (Holsapple 2007). For angles of friction with two curves, the permissible spin rates lie in the region between the two curves.
