Fig. 6
Scale heights of the merger-induced thick disk and stellar excess as function of radial distance in units of disk scale length, r/rd, for minor mergers with three different gas-to-stellar mass fractions, fgas = 0, 0.1 and 0.2. The shaded regions indicate the scatter in the scale heights due to the variety of initial orbital configurations.
