Paper: Counter-Rotation in Disk Galaxies
Volume: 486, Multi-Spin Galaxies
Page: 51
Authors: Corsini, E. M.
Abstract: Counter-rotating galaxies host two components rotating in opposite directions with respect to each other. The kinematic and morphological properties of lenticulars and spirals hosting counter-rotating components are reviewed. Statistics of the counter-rotating galaxies and analysis of their stellar populations provide constraints on the formation scenarios which include both environmental and internal processes.
