Diffusion timescales in fiducial Rc = 60 km bodies’ interiors, for different chondritic compositions. EH and OC lines are mostly overlapping. Solid lines are bodies with intact matrices (K = 10−17m2), while dashed lines are fractured bodies (K = 10−13 m2). Dashed–dotted lines are EH and OC bodies if they had the same grain size as CCs, d = 1 μm. The shaded region denotes timescales relevant for planetesimal thermal evolution.
