Minimum planetesimal size dmin resulting in the formation of large objects obtained with different methods for different values of vc (indicated inpanels) and dc. The solid blue line shows dmin computedusing our multi-annulus simulations. The green line is the analytic estimate for dmin assuming that growth can occur starting from the smallest size that does not suffer erosion by any particle greater than 1% of its mass, according to the Stewart & Leinhardt (2009) prescription. The red line is the analytic estimate for dmin assuming that growth can occur as long as catastrophic disruptions are absent. The dashed blue line shows the geometric mean of the red and green lines.
