Counter-rotating Stellar Components in Simulated Disk Galaxies
... Prada et al (1996) found that the line-of-sight velocity distribution has two distinct peaks and can be decomposed into a fast-rotating component with v/σ ~ 3, and a slower rotating, retrograde component with v/σ ~1–1.5. The radial surface brightness profile of the counter-rotating component follows ...
