af, Resulting mineralogical sequences calculated for FNR (ac) and SNR (df) models. Panels show the evolution at P = 10−3 bar, Tc = 1,000 years, X = 0 (a,d); P = 10−5 bar, Tc = 1 year, X = −5 (b,e); and P = 10−6 bar, Tc = 1 year, X = −6 (c,f). Coloured regions indicate the solid mass fraction of each mineral versus temperature; only phases exceeding 1% of total solid mass are shown. The red lines denote the dust:gas mass ratio. Refer to Supplementary Fig. 17 for a colour legend. Mineralogical types A, B and C are discussed in the text. For T < 700 K, olivine/(olivine + pyroxene) mass ratios are 32%, 65% and 66% for FNR cases (ac), and 81%, 63% and 66% for SNR cases (df).
