Additional stellar and dust components tracing the direction of accretion. The three panels showing the three residual F160W images of the galaxies after the subtraction of the primary disks (in green contours; starting at 4σ with increments of 4σ). The red solid contours show the ALMA 870 μm emission with the lines starting at 50σ with increments of 50σ. The red solid lines indicate the respective ALMA major axes. In case of Galaxies A and B, the dashed red contours starting at 3σ with steps of 0.5σ displays the ALMA residual emission after the subtraction of the primary emission regions. In case of Galaxy-C, the same contours show the additional point source adjacent to the core that was found during the fitting procedure. In this case, the contours are at 15, 25σ. Finally, the arrows indicate the likely directions of gas-accretion onto the galaxies based on the asymmetric distribution of all the aforementioned components, which also coincide with the direction in which the disks are lopsided.
