Caption

A. Relationship between maximum temperature and dimensionless distance. B. Relationship between duration and dimensionless distance. Duration is scaled by thermal diffusion (*6) time. The colors indicate different projectiles and impact speeds: PC is a polycarbonate sphere with a diameter of 4.7mm and Al is an aluminum sphere with a diameter of 2mm.
