On the Kinematic Nature of Apparent Disks at High Redshifts: Local Counterparts are Not Dominated by Ordered Rotation but by Tangentially Anisotropic Random Motion
It is not straightforward to physically interpret the apparent morphology of galaxies. Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) revealed a dominant galaxy population at high redshifts ( z > 2) that were visually classified as disks for their flattened shapes and/or exponential...
