(a) Capture probability as a function of 1 − ε
t. Note that 1 − ε
t = 0 in the case of no friction. The solid lines are numerical results for circular orbits, while the dashed lines are those

, where ω
z
is the
z-component of the initial value of the relative rotation rate
. The solid lines are the numerical results for ε
n = 0.5 and ε
t = 0.9, while the dashed lines show the results in which ε
t = 0.7 and the velocity-dependent coefficient of restitution obtained by Bridges et al. (1984) was used (
). Results for two different values of random velocity
are shown.
