Normalized collision rate ( ) and accretion rate ( ) as a function of the normalized time ( tτ), in the case where the effect of aggregate formation is neglected (see the text). Thin horizontal dotted lines represent the results obtained from the three-body calculations: collision rate for (top), accretion rate for (middle), and collision rate for (bottom). Solid lines with marks and error bars represent the results of N-body simulation: lines with open squares (colored blue) and filled squares (colored magenta) represent collision and capture rates, respectively, for and τ = 10 −2; and lines with circles (colored red) and triangles (colored green) represent collision rates for τ = 10 −3 and 10 −2, respectively, with n = 0.5). Computer systems with the GRAPE-7 hardware were used for these N-body simulations.
