From left to right: specific AM as a function of radius normalized by the disk scale length, r/Rd, of the primary galaxy, for gas and new stars (left panel) and old stars (middle panel) during the minor merger simulation whose evolution is shown in Fig. 1. In each panel the black line shows the initial AM and the red line shows the final AM. The specific AM is in units of 100 kpc km s-1. Right panel: the anisotropy parameter β as a function of r/Rd for old stars in the same merger. Both the initial (black line) and final (red line) β are shown.
