From top to bottom: distribution in the E − L_z space of satellite stars for the 1 × (1:10) merger (top row), for the 2 × (1:10) merger (middle row) and for the 4 × (1:10) merger (bottom row). For the 2 × (1:10) and 4 × (1:10) mergers, the contribution of each satellite is shown from left to right. All the distributions are given at the final time of the simulation, corresponding to t = 5 Gyr. In all the plots, colors code the stellar density, in logarithmic scale, as indicated by the color bar.
