Dependence of the Q (tidal strength) on R_i, p (the projected physical distance between companion and primary galaxy) for range of companion mass ratios considered in this work. The Q value contours are estimated using the typical size of a star-forming galaxy at z ∼ 2.5 from Ribeiro et al. (2016). Also included for reference are the ${\stackrel{\sim }{Q}}_{100}$ value for Hyperion companion systems and the ${\stackrel{\sim }{Q}}_{100}$ value for field companion systems. The tidal forces induced by the companion galaxy do not dominate over the binding forces of the primary galaxy until R_i, p ≲ 10 kpc, but we do find increased tidal strengths in Hyperion companion systems due to increased percentages of multi-companion systems and systems at smaller projected separations.
