The SAMI Galaxy Survey: The role of disc fading and progenitor bias in kinematic transitions

S. M. Croom, D. S. Taranu, J. van de Sande +16

We use comparisons between the SAMI Galaxy Survey and equilibrium galaxy models to infer the importance of disc fading in the transition of spirals into lenticular (S0) galaxies. T…
