Distribution of our S0-like remnants in the MK(disc) − MK(bulge), compared to the observational distributions of nearby S0s and spirals (L04; W09; L10) and to previous simulations of dry minor mergers (A01; EM06; EM12; EM13). The linear fits performed to the observational distributions of S0 and spiral galaxies are overplotted in the diagram with solid lines (Pearson ρS0 = 0.76, ρSp = 0.70). The symbols represent the same models and observations as in the previous figure; consult the legend in Fig. 5. (A colour version is available in the electronic edition.)
