Snapshot of the simulation data at 1 Gyr in standard coordinates and color‐coded by the particle density (Mori & Rich 2008). Each subpanel separately displays a different component: the accreted satellite only (top left), disk and bulge (top right), spherical halo (bottom left), and disk, bulge, plus satellite (bottom right).
