On the Tidal Origin of Angular Momentum in Galaxies. (1986). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 12(1), 131. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1986rmxaa..12..131m

Abstract

We present the results of numerical simulations of relaxating protogalaxies under the tidal action of other similar systems and also clusters of galaxies. It is found that the bimodal behaviour of the observed angular momentum of galaxies can be explained under the assumption of different initial dynamical conditions induced by the evolving structure of the Universe expected in the Adiabatic Picture.
