Notes. Open means that the two disks do not touch each other during the time of the experiment (tH). Graze means that the two disks touch each other for a while and then separate. Merge means that the two disks fuse. Number of orbits is the total angular excursion of the companion until the merger, relative to its starting point. TM is the time of merging in units of tH when the two disks fuse (the symbols * in the times of merging of the simulations EXP15 and EXP21 denote that these times are estimates, using EXP17). Rd(12), Zd(12) and Rf are the fitted scale radius, height and cutoff fitting radius of the only merged coplanar disk in units of length, using Eq. (1).
