You suck at math. Badly. You really haven’t learned ANYTHING from your ISON experience. Log10(radius(m)) = -1.0 means the largest possible fragment size in their model is 1*10^-1.0 m, or 100 cm. The peak particle size on that chart is about 1 cm or less.

I was under the impression that you multiplied the radius of the object by the log.

"The peak particle size on that chart is about 1 cm or less."
If your statement is true, what would particles sizes be from figure 4 of
their paper that state:
"Mean = 3.20971"
"Mode = 2.93205"
I don't believe they use the letter
"m" to mean
meter, but I could be wrong, as I am not schooled in this field.
Explain their statement to me that states:
"An equal amount of dust is assumed to be released between the sizes of 10−9 to 10−1 m in radius,though only particles larger than 10−5 m are simulated:
given our assumed size distribution, this gives a fraction > 0.99999 of the mass and 4×10−7 of the number of particles simulated. "

Wouldn't that be 1
decimeter ?
deci- (d-) 10-1
1 tenth
centi- (c-) 10-2
1 hundredth
milli- (m-) 10-3
1 thousandth
micro- (µ-) 10-6
1 millionth
nano- (n-) 10-9
1 billionth
pico- (p-) 10-12
1 trillionth
Notes: I am often asked about prefixes for other multiples, such as 104, 105, 10-4, and 10-5.
The prefix myria- (my-) was formerly used for 104, but it is now considered obsolete and it is not accepted in the SI.
To the best of my knowledge, no prefixes were ever accepted generally for 105, 10-4, or 10-5.
