Notes.Columns: (1) model code: MmP[l/s][D/R][b/s][TF3/4], see text. (2) Luminous mass ratio between the primary galaxy and the satellite. (3) First pericentre distance of the orbit in units of the original primary disk scale-length. (4) Initial angle between the orbital momentum and the primary disk spin (direct and retrograde orbits). (5) 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). (6) Value of α TF assumed for the satellite scaling to the primary galaxy.
