The role of mergers and halo spin in shaping galaxy morphology
Mergers and the spin of the dark matter halo are factors traditionally believed to determine the morphology of galaxies within a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. We study this hypothesis by considering approximately 18,000 central galaxies at $z=0$ with stellar masses $M_{\ast} = 10^{9}-10^{12} \, {\rm M}_{\...
