Paper: Alignment in Λ Cold Dark Matter: Clues to the Origin of Multi-Spin Galaxies
Volume: 486, Multi-Spin Galaxies

Authors: Brook, C.
Abstract: Misalignments of angular momenta are ubiquitous in our universe, from misaligned disc components, misalignments between gas and stars, between accreting gas and existing discs, galaxy warps, kinematically decoupled cores, misaligned galaxy angular momenta vectors, and misalignments in large scale structure. Here we review the origin of misalignments in a Λ cold dark matter framework, which provides ample scope for such a wide range of complex features.
