Fig. 7.

Same as Fig. 3 but for constant P1/t. The solid, dashed, and dot-dashed lines show the results for (a) (P1, t) = (3 × 1011 dyn cm−1, 10 Myr), (1 × 1011 dyn cm−1, 3.3 Myr), and (9 × 1011 dyn cm−1, 30 Myr), respectively, for silicate, and (b) (P1, t) = (4 × 1010 dyn cm−1, 10 Myr), (1.3 × 1010 dyn cm−1, 3.3 Myr), and (1.2 × 1011 dyn cm−1, 30 Myr), respectively, for carbonaceous dust. The dotted line presents the initial grain size distribution before shattering.
