I90VY2 it takes about 0.7Gyr longer to reach it.

For I90VY1 the merging times and results are quite similar to simulation I90R, although there is less rotation in the final product. The major axis of the merger remnant is in the $XY$ plane but inclined by about 22deg with respect to the $X$ axis. For I90VY2 the major axis of the remnant also stays in the $XY$ plane, now inclined by 67deg to the $X$ axis, but otherwise the simulation outcome is very different. There is just a little rotation in the final product and there are significant differences in the shape and rotation between Dwarf1 and Dwarf2 at a given time step. For this reason, in the following figures showing the properties of the dwarfs, we plot just the results for Dwarf1 except for simulation I90VY2 for which we show results for Dwarf2 as well (the blue dashed curves).

Fig. \[fig:vmaps\] shows several snapshots from each of the simulations with different initial relative velocities. The dwarfs are shown in projection onto the orbital plane $XY$ and the colors code the mean line-of-sight velocity. The first panel of each row shows the situation around the first pericenter passage.
