Galaxy mergers and disk angular momentum evolution: stellar halos as a critical test
We investigate the role of hierarchical assembly in the angular momentum (AM) evolution of galaxies using a sample of 471 Milky Way-mass galaxies from the TNG-50 simulation. While galaxy orientation is often attributed to tidal torques and the cooling of gas within halos, we demonstrate that galaxy...
