In cosmological simulations without baryons, the relation between the specific angular momentum $j_{\rm h}$ and mass $M_{\rm h}$ of galactic dark matter halos has the well-established form $j_{\rm h} \propto M_{\rm h}^{2/3}$. This is…
The stellar mass, size and rotational velocity of galactic disks all grow from redshift ~2 to the present by amounts that are estimated from observationally derived scaling relations. The product of these three quantities, the angular…
We investigate the accretion of angular momentum onto a protoplanet system using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. We consider a local region around a protoplanet in a protoplanetary disk with sufficient spatial resolution. We…
In a $\Lambda$CDM Universe, the specific stellar angular momentum ($j_\ast$) and stellar mass ($M_\ast$) of a galaxy are correlated as a consequence of the scaling existing for dark matter haloes ($j_{\rm h}\propto M_{\rm h}^{2/3}$). The…
We compute the specific angular momentum distributions of a sample of low mass disk galaxies observed by Swaters. We compare these distributions to those of dark matter haloes obtained by Bullock et al. from high resolution N-body…
Dwarf galaxies are ideal laboratories to test dark matter models and alternative theories because their dynamical mass (from observed kinematics) largely outweighs their baryonic mass (from gas and stars). In most star-forming dwarfs, cold…
(Abridged) We report results of a series of non radiative N-body/SPH simulations in a LCDM cosmology. We find that the spin of the baryonic component is on average larger than that of the dark matter (DM) component and we find this effect…
We present measurements of the specific angular momentum content (j) of galaxies drawn from the Simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. For the stellar, HI and baryonic matter components we demonstrate the existence of extremely tight…

We perform three-dimensional numerical simulations of stellar winds of early-M dwarf stars. Our simulations incorporate observationally reconstructed large-scale surface magnetic maps, suggesting that the complexity of the magnetic field…
We rederive the relation between the specific angular momentum j_* and the mass M_* of the stellar matter in galaxies of different morphological types. This is a revision of the j_*--M_* diagram presented in our recent comprehensive study…
Spherical density profiles and specific angular momentum profiles of Dark Matter halos found in cosmological N-body simulations have been measured extensively. The distribution of the total angular momentum of dark matter halos is also used…
[Abridged] We study the angular-momentum profiles of a statistical sample of halos drawn from a high-resolution N-body simulation of the LCDM cosmology. We find that the cumulative mass distribution of specific angular momentum, j, in a…
We combine constraints on the galaxy-dark matter connection with structural and dynamical scaling relations to investigate the angular momentum content of disc galaxies. For haloes with masses in the interval 10^{11.3} < M_vir/M_sun <…
Baryonic feedback is expected to play a key role in regulating the star formation of low-mass galaxies by producing galaxy-scale winds associated with mass-loading factors $\beta\!\sim\!1\!-\!50$. We have tested this prediction using a…
We report the discovery of a rare isolated group of five dwarf galaxies located at z = 0.0086 ($D$ = 36 Mpc). All member galaxies are star-forming, blue, and gas-rich with $g-r$ indices ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 mag, and two of them show…
The total specific angular momentum j of a galaxy disk is matched with that of its dark matter halo, but the distributions are different, in that there is a lack of both low- and high-j baryons with respect to the CDM predictions. I…
The rotational properties of the visible and dark components of low-mass disk galaxies (vrot<=100 km/s) are investigated using the Swaters sample. The rotational parameter lambda'=lambda_DM*(j_d/m_d) is determined, where lambda_DM is the…
We measure the stellar specific angular momentum jstar=Jstar/Mstar in four nearby (z~0.1) disk galaxies that have stellar masses Mstar near the break M* of the galaxy mass function, but look like typical star-forming disks at z~2 in terms…
Stellar-feedback driven outflows are predicted to play a fundamental role in the baryon cycle of low-mass galaxies. However, observational constraints of winds in nearby dwarf galaxies are limited as outflows are transient, intrinsically…
