Similar to the left panel of Figure 9, asteroid material is color coded by the material damage for the C10 (left) and C25 (right) simulations at 68 ms. The mass-weighted fraction of fully damaged material (i.e., Damage = 1) is larger in C25 (92.6%) than in C10 (78.1%). The larger overall damage in C25 is likely due to energy being deposited over a larger surface area. These results highlight the influence of HOB on the extent of material damage.
