Top: CO mass production rate in the belt for the HKB simulations. Bottom: Total mass of CO gas released in the belt for the HKB simulations. The initial mass of 5 M_⊕ (HKB-4, 5) is for the extended configuration, whereas the initial masses of 20 (HKB-3) and 50 M_⊕ (HKB-fid, 2) are for the compact configuration.
