Specific stellar angular momentum for the stellar disc (empty triangles) and central spheroid (empty circles) components as a function of the virial mass for z = 0 (red), z = 1 (green), and z = 2 (blue). The gap between the two dynamical components does not evolve with redshift. For comparison purposes, j for the dark matter haloes have been also included (filled squares). We note that the angular momenta of the discs and central spheroids are given at r_HM.
