Numerical simulations of merging galaxies do not include a disc component due to bar instability modes. Analytic work is based upon the impulsive approximation which leads to energy loss by the perturber. However, for the perturber to become bound we need consider parabolic encounters. Here we present an analytic technique suitable for all types of encounters.
