Mass captured at t = 100 Trot per initial vejection bin for a landslide ejection around Chiron. Here we only show results from the velocity ranges that show significant capture for clarity. Regolith ejection from the long axis is on the left-hand side and short axis on the right-hand side. Regolith capture behavior for Chiron is similar to Chariklo qualitatively, but differs a bit quantitatively.
