Same as Fig. 8, but now for a binary parent object. The basic parameters were a primary size D1 = Dtar = 7.5 km, a secondary size D2 = 2.5 km, an impactor size Dimp = 1.4 km, an impact angle ϕ = 60°, an impact velocity v = 5 km s−1, and a separation r = 10 km. Individual panels can be described as follows: (a) the initial conditions with the binary architecture, (b) because of the near-to-grazing geometry of the impact, high-speed ejecta emanate from the impact site and surrounding surface zone, (c) ejecta reaching the secondary component in the binary, (d) the primary is preserved as the largest remnant in the family, (e) handoff phase with the preserved secondary component of the binary, (f) onset of reaccumulation of other fragments, (g) the secondary escaping from the system, (h) the reaccumulated primary (the secondary off-scale, not shown), which together form a distant pair, accompanied by smaller fragments.
