Asymptotic debris velocities estimated for passages at the tidal radius (left panel) and at the stellar photosphere radius (right panel) – which represents a mininum periapse distance and maximum debris velocity for a given star-object combination. We show the effects of a range of stellar masses and planetary radii, assuming a planetary density of 5 g cm−3.
