Notes. Columns: (1) Model code: MmP[l/s][D/R][b/s][TF3/4], consult the text. The identification letters in parentheses for each model are the same as those used in EM11. The models with α TF = 3.0 or 4.0 from EM06 have been labelled with letters “a2”, “a3”, “g2”, and “g3” to refer them to their analogues with α TF = 3.5. (2) Model code in EM06, for those models that were already presented in that paper. (3) Luminous mass ratio between satellite and primary galaxy. (4) First pericentre distance of the orbit, in units of the original primary disk scale-length. (5) Initial angle between the orbital momentum and the primary disk spin. This angle determines whether the orbit is prograde (direct) or retrograde. (6) Bulge-to-disk ratio of the original primary galaxy used in the experiment: B/D = 0.5 (big bulge) or B/D = 0.08 (small bulge). (7) Value of α TF assumed for the scaling of the satellite to the primary galaxy.
