Details of the collisions recorded during the integration of a system of 25 000 particles, each with a radius of 50 km. Left panel: temporal distribution of collisions. The inset provides a close-up of the first twenty years of the integration. In this panel, collision times are normalized to the average orbital period of the fragments, Pavg, showing that impacts preferentially occur at multiples of this period. Right panel: distribution of impact velocities between the fragments.
