The evolution of (log₁₀) density at the collision midplane for a B₀ ≃ 1 kG, Δx ≃ 175 km magnetized giant impact simulation. Each panel has a unique window size, bringing attention to: (a)–(c) the shocks propagating through the planetary bodies during the collision (0–0.5 hr), (d)–(g) the tidal arm of debris (2–14 hr), and (h)–(i) the protolunar disk (24–48 hr).
