Caption: Figure 2.

Upper panel: time evolution of the toroidal (solid) and poloidal (dashed) components of the magnetic energy in the merger remnant for all simulated dynamo saturation parameters, ξTS. Lower panel: time evolution of mass-averaged ∣κ∣, which, for ξTS > 0 models, is primarily TS dominated. Different colors correspond to the ξTS = 0 model, without the TS dynamo, and to models with different values of the saturation parameter ξTS.
