Fig. 9
Snapshots from our test-particle simulation of the radial minor merger, leading to the formation of shells. Each panel covers 300 × 300 kpc and is centered on the host galaxy. Only the surface density of particles originally belonging to the satellite galaxy is displayed. The density scale varies between frames, so that the respective range of densities is optimally covered.
