Notes. Columns: (1) Model code: MmP[l/s][D/R][b/s][TF3/4], see the text. (2) Luminous mass ratio between the satellite and the primary S0 galaxy. (3) Orbital first pericentre distance in units of the primary disc scale-length. (4) Initial angle between the angular momenta of the orbit and the primary disc. (5) Bulge-to-disc ratio of the original primary S0: B/D = 0.5 (S0b) or B/D = 0.08 (S0c). (6) Value of α TF assumed for the scaling of the satellite to the primary S0. More details of the models in EM06 and EM11.
