Fig. 3

Distance between the center of the dwarf galaxy and its satellite with time for all our simulations: the most massive disk (disk1; black), the intermediate disk (disk2; blue), the least massive disk (disk3; red), and the Fornax-analog (green) for two different inclinations of the satellite orbit with respect to the disk and two sets of initial scale heights as indicated by the top right inset. The orbits show the center of mass trajectory defined by the 100 most bound particles in the satellite. The satellite becomes completely unbound within 2 Gyr.
