The total forward ejecta mass and the shock stand-off distance resulting from a star–disk collision as a function of time, for different resolutions. The top and bottom panels show the ejecta mass and the shock stand-off distance, respectively. The ejecta mass is calculated by integrating the mass below 4Hd from the midplane of the disk. The vertical gray solid line and dashed lines indicate the times when the star is at the midplane and at a distance of 4Hd above and below the midplane, respectively.
