A shows the molar ratio of CO to CO2 measured in the experiments as a function of impact velocity. The error bars are the uncertainties in the molar ratio due to the error propagation from the CO and CO2 productions. B shows the equilibrium composition of the molar ratio as a function of temperature. In this calculation, the elemental abundances were set to the same as the targets. The shaded regions correspond to the experimental results.
