Notes. Column 1: orbit identifier in the GalMer database, unique for each set of initial orbital parameters, inclination and spin-orbit coupling of the experiments. Column 2: spin-orbit coupling. The orbit is prograde (P) if the z-component of the orbital spin is parallel to the z axis and retrograde (R) if anti-parallel. Column 3: disc inclination of the second progenitor with respect to the orbital plane. The disc of the first progenitor is kept in the orbital plane when present. Column 4: pericentre distance. Column 5: initial orbital energy. Column 6: total number of experiments with this set of orbital parameters in the sample of 202 dynamically relaxed remnants selected from the 1002 experiments available in the database (Sect. 3.3). Notice that the orbit identifier is different from the orbit type defined in the query sheet of the GalMer database.
