We present a two-dimensional kinematic analysis for a sample of simulated
binary disc merger remnants with mass ratios 1:1 and 3:1. For the progenitor
discs we used pure stellar models as well as models with 10% of their mass in
gas. A multitude of phenomena also observed in real galaxies are found in the
simulations. These include misaligned rotation, embedded discs, gas rings,
counter-rotating cores and kinematic misaligned discs. Using the 2D maps we
illustrate projection effects and the change in properties of a merger remnant
when gas is included in the merger. We find that kinematic peculiar subsystems
are preferably formed in equal mass mergers. Equal-mass collisionless remnants
can show almost no rotation, regular rotation or strong kinematic misalignment.
The inclusion of gas makes the remnants appear more round(1:1) and
axisymmetric(3:1). Counter-Rotating Cores (CRCs) are almost exclusively formed
in equal-mass mergers with a dissipational component. 3:1 remnants show a much
more regular structure. We quantify these properties by applying the kinemetric
methods recently developed by Krajnovi\'c et al. This work will help to
understand observations of elliptical galaxies with 2D field spectrographs,
like SAURON.Comment: accepted for publication in MNRAS, discussion substantially enlarged,
