Alignment angles for all galaxies in the sample and for the morphological classes. All histograms are binned with bin widths of 10°. The black lines denote the distribution of alignment angles for randomly oriented shapes and angular momenta. Left: Angle between the stellar minor axis of the shape and the stellar angular momentum within 3 R1/2. Middle: Angle between the stellar and DM minor axes of the shapes at 3 R1/2. Right: Angle between the stellar and DM angular momenta within 3 R1/2 (unlike the other two angles, this can also reach values up to 180°).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
