Fig. 12

Total angular momentum of the thin (dash-dotted blue) and thick (dotted red) discs, of the dark matter halo (dashed black), and of the total angular momentum in all the components (solid black) as a function of time, normalised by the total angular momentum. The discs lose angular momentum, which is transferred to the dark matter halo, while the thin disc loses a much higher percentage than the thick disc (see text).
