Caption: Figure 6.

This figure has the same form as Figure 5. The symbols are the same as in previous figures, except with the addition of crosses, which represent stars placed on such radial orbits that they were deposited within the Schwarzschild radius of the SMBH. In the first row, we show another example of a Rauch99 simulation similar to the one in the first row of Figure 2. In the second row, we show a Rauch99 with dissipation during high-speed collisions: we scaled the postcollision speed by 50% in the center-of-mass frame following high-speed, destructive collision cases. The last row shows a Lai+93 simulation for a sample of stars out to 1 pc.
