Tilted Dark Halos Are Common and Long-lived, and Can Warp Galactic Disks
In the Lambda cold dark matter paradigm, the dark halo governs the gravitational potential within which a galaxy can form and evolve. In this Letter we show that the present-day inner ( r < 50 kpc) dark halo can be significantly misaligned with the stellar disk. To this end, we use the TNG50 run...
