Accretion in the nuclei of active galaxies may occur chaotically. This can produce accretion discs which are counter-rotating or strongly misaligned with respect to the spin of the central supermassive black hole (SMBH), or the axis of a…
We use the TNG100 simulation of the IllustrisTNG project to investigate the stellar specific angular momenta ($j_{\ast}$) of $\sim$12,000 central galaxies at $z=0$ in a full cosmological context, with stellar masses ($M_{\ast}$) ranging…
We study the spatially-resolved stellar specific angular momentum $j_*$ in a high-quality sample of 24 CALIFA galaxies covering a broad range of visual morphology, accounting for stellar velocity and velocity dispersion. The shape of the…
We build a volume-limited sample of galaxies derived from the SDSS-DR7 to characterize several physical properties of the dark matter halos where LSB galaxies reside. Using an observational proxy for the assembly time, we found that LSB…
The distribution of galaxies in the stellar specific angular momentum versus stellar mass plane ($j_{\star}$-$M_{\star}$) provides key insights into their formation mechanisms. In this paper, we determine the location in this plane of a…
Present-day disc galaxies often exhibit distinct thin and thick discs. The formation mechanisms of the two discs and the timing of their onset remain open questions. To address these questions, we select edge-on galaxies from flagship JWST…
We derive the stellar-to-halo specific angular momentum relation (SHSAMR) of galaxies at $z=0$ by combining i) the standard $\Lambda$CDM tidal torque theory ii) the observed relation between stellar mass and specific angular momentum (Fall…
Giant bulgeless disk galaxies, theoretically expected to be rare in the early Universe, have been confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to exist as early as 2 billion years after the Big Bang. These morphologically extreme…
While bright, blue, compact galaxies are common at $\rm z \sim 1$, they are relatively rare in the local universe, and their evolutionary paths are uncertain. We have obtained resolved H I observations of nine $\rm z \sim 0$ luminous…
[Abridged] One of the most outstanding problems related to numerical models of galaxy formation is the so-called ``angular momentum catastrophe''. We study the evolution of the angular momentum from z~0.6 to z=0 to further our understanding…
It is pointed out that MOND defines a fiducial specific angular momentum (SAM) for a galaxy of total (baryonic) mass $\mathcal{M}$: $j_M(\mathcal{M})\equiv\mathcal{M}^{3/4}(G^3/a_0)^{1/4}\approx 383(\mathcal{M}/10^{10}M_\odot)^{3/4}{\rm…
In recent years, it has been demonstrated that massive stars see their infant circumstellar medium shaped into a large, irradiated, gravitationally unstable accretion disc during their early formation phase. Such discs constitute the gas…
We present a MUSE and KMOS dynamical study 405 star-forming galaxies at redshift z=0.28-1.65 (median redshift z=0.84). Our sample are representative of star-forming, main-sequence galaxies, with star-formation rates of SFR=0.1-30Mo/yr and…
We explore the vertical light distribution as a function of galactocentric radius in the edge-on (i=88) Sd `superthin' galaxy UGC7321. UGC7321 is a low-luminosity spiral (M_B,i=-17.0) with a diffuse, low surface brightness stellar disk and…
We use a state-of-the-art semi-analytic model to study the size and the specific angular momentum of galaxies. Our model includes a specific treatment for the angular momentum exchange between different galactic components. Disk scale radii…
We conduct spectral observations of 138 superthin galaxies (STGs) with high radial-to-vertical stellar disk scales ratio with the Dual Imaging Spectrograph (DIS) on the 3.5m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory (APO) to obtain the…
We use the measured B band axial ratios of galaxies from an updated catalog of Local Volume galaxies to determine the intrinsic shape of dwarf irregular galaxies (de Vacouleurs' morphological types 8, 9 and 10). We find that the shapes…
We study massive disk galaxies (total stellar mass$>=10^{11}$ $\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$) from IllustrisTNG50 simulation, and perform 2-D structural decomposition of the galaxies using their idealised, synthetic SDSS images for z=0. We find an…
We present a numerical study of the properties of the stellar velocity distribution in stellar discs which have developed a saturated, two-armed spiral structure. We follow the growth of the spiral structure deeply into the non-linear…
Galactic outflows driven by stellar feedback are crucial for explaining the inefficiency of star formation in galaxies. Although strong feedback can promote the formation of galactic discs by limiting star formation at early times and…
