Four phases of angular-momentum buildup in high-z galaxies: from cosmic-web streams through an extended ring to disc and bulge

Mark Danovich, Avishai Dekel, Oliver Hahn +2

We study the angular-momentum (AM) buildup in high- massive galaxies using high-resolution cosmological simulations. The AM originates in co-planar streams of cold gas and mergi…
