Caption: Figure 4.

Estimated Lorentz factor of the ejecta at infinity. We show results using the Bernoulli criteria (left panel), which slightly overestimates ejected masses, and assuming that u_t is constant (right panel), which typically underestimates the ejected mass. ﹩{{\rm{\Gamma }}}_{\infty }=1﹩ (dashed gray line) is the estimated boundary between bound and unbound material.
