Formation of S0 galaxies through mergers. Morphological properties: tidal relics, lenses, ovals, and other inner components
Context. Major mergers are popularly considered too destructive to produce the relaxed regular structures and the morphological inner components (ICs) usually observed in lenticular (S0) galaxies. Aims: We aim to test if major mergers can produce remnants with realistic S0 morphologies. Methods: We have selected a sample of relaxed discy remnants
