Fig. 7.
Time evolution of the 2D normalised mass density distribution (x–y plane projection) for a major merger with mass ratio m2 = 1.0 (top) and minor merger with mass ratio m2 = 0.1 (bottom) for the small-bulge m1 model. Each frame measures 35 kpc by 35 kpc (these dimensions are used throughout) and each timestep is 240 Myr.
