Morphology of the final remnant of model gE0gSao1 (S0). Top left panels: projected stellar particle-position maps for face-on and edge-on views of the remnant. The particles have been coloured according to their original progenitor (dark green: hybrid particles, progenitor 1; blue: old stars, progenitor 1; light green: hybrid particles, progenitor 2; purple: old stars, progenitor 2). Top right panel: time evolution of the distance between the centroids of the two merging galaxies during the simulation, with the relevant orbital times indicated. Main set of panels: mock photometric images in the B, V, R, I, and K bands of the final remnant for face-on and edge-on views, assuming a distance of 30 Mpc. In the first two rows, we use a logarithmic grayscale that highlights the structure in the outskirts of the galaxy. In the two bottom rows, we use a reversed scale to enhance the sub-structures in the core instead. The FoV in all frames is 100 × 100 kpc2. The total extension of the outer disc is difficult to appreciate in the face-on views due to its grainy appearance, but it typically extends beyond approximately two to four times the outer radius of the central lens or oval, as seen in the corresponding edge-on views.
