Scientific paper

Simulations to measure the total amount of mass lost and transferred from disks in interacting galaxy systems were conducted using a massively parallel restricted three-body dynamics code. With the extremely high speed of this code, we conducted over 1000 simulated galaxy encounters each with 8192 test particles in the disk of the main galaxy. Based on these simulations, we present the relationships between the total amount of mass lost and transferred and the mass ratios, impact parameters, inclination, argument of periapse, and halo size for parabolic encounters involving a disk galaxy.
