(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 for . The dotted line represents the analytic result for and . and ε n = 0.5. (b) Capture probability as a function of ω z , 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.
