Dust speed and impact angles for different dust sizes and activity levels. Left panel: terminal dust speed, υd,term, according to Eq. (15) for two gas cases. The lowest gas production rate case considered in the EDCM in purple (min Qg case, where RN = 2 km and Qg = 155 kg s−1) and the highest gas production rate case in orange (max Qg case, where RN = 5 km and Qg = 16 434 kg s−1). Right panel: maximum angle of impact of dust particles with respect to the ram-direction of the spacecraft. The solid lines are for a fly-by speed of 10 km s−1 and the dashed lines for 70 km s−1. The colours are the min. and max. gas production cases as in the left panel. The corresponding radii of particles with masses 1 mg, 10 mg, and 100 mg are indicated by the grey lines.
