Collision outcomes.
| Description | Nfra𝑔 | Mbound /Mtot |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect merger | 1 | ≥0.95 |
| Erosion | 1 | ≥0.5 |
| Disruption | 0/1 | <0.5 |
| Perfect hit-and-run | 2 | ≥0.95 |
| Erosive hit-and-run | 2 | <0.95 |
Notes. Classification of the collisions depending on the final number of bound fragments as well as ratio of final total bound mass to initial total mass. By definition, a perfect merger is a collision where 100% of the colliding mass remains bound in a single fragment. To relax this strict requirement, we considered a perfect merging as a collision with a mass loss of up to 5%. As discussed in Sect. 1, we expect diverse outcomes from the rich dynamics of the collisions.
