Notes. m1, m2 and are the impactor, target and largest remnant mass, respectively. ∆v and ϑ are the impact velocity and angles, respectively. Collision n° 8 occurred barely 183 minutes before collision n° 2 and gave birth to its impactor. It is not visible in Fig. 5 because it does not involve any of the two most massive moonlets.
