Histograms of the specific AM, l (in units of 100 kpc km s^-1), and the radial (v_r) and tangential (v_t) velocities (in units of 100 km s^-1) of stars between radii of 2–3 R_d in a number of minor merger remnants. The top three rows show direct minor mergers, with disk gas mass fractions increasing from 0 to 0.2. Indicated in each panel are the entire old stellar population (gray), new stars (blue) and old stars with |z|    ≤ 1 kpc (red). The vertical dashed lines show the average values of l, v_r and v_t for each of these three components. The three lowest rows are similar, but for retrograde mergers.
