Growth vectors in the h_D-M_K(disk) (left) and μ_0,D-h_D (right) planes driven by our minor merger experiments, compared to real data. The straight lines represent the best fits for S0s (solid lines), S0/a+Sa (dotted-dashed lines), and Sab-Sbc galaxies (dashed lines) obtained by L10, which all have statistically significant rank correlation coefficients. The arrow in the right panel indicates the slope of the trend drawn by the merger models in the plane. Consult the legend for the observational data in the figure. The legend for the models is the same as in Fig. 1.
