Photometrical and kinematical features imprinted by the formed ICs in the global stellar maps of the final remnants of models M6Ps[D/R]b and M6PlDb (models a to c in Table 3). Left panels: ellipticity and PA isophotal profiles of all the stars in the remnants, using an inclined view (θ = 60°, φ = 20°). The extent of the ICs as defined in Sect. 3.2.1 is indicated by vertical dashed lines in each case for reference (accordingly to Fig. 2). Right panels: 2D-maps of the kinemetric moments of the LOSVD of all the stars in the remnant using an edge-on view (VLOS, σ, h3, h4). The levels are distributed linearly (simulation units). The photometric axes defined by the material in the core region of the galaxy are also plotted (straight lines). The isophotes of the stellar material in the remnant originally belonging to the satellite are overplotted for reference (contours).
