Three-dimensional angles Ψ subtended between the stellar and gas AM vectors, both estimated within one effective radius Re, at z = 0.66 (upper panel) and z = 0.18 (lower panel). Our final sample of gas-versus-stars counter-rotating galaxies consists of galaxies with non-disturbed morphology (or in an ongoing merging phase) with a mass greater than 109 M and Ψ > 120°. We also used a color coding according to the quantity V*/σ (also estimated within one effective radius). Gas-star kinetic misaligned galaxies are more likely to form in spheroidal-dominated galaxies (associated with low V*/σ values).
