Probing the History of the Galaxy Assembly of the Counterrotating Disk Galaxy PGC 66551

Stellar counterrotation in disk galaxies directly relates to the complex phenomenon of the disk mass assembly believed to be driven by external processes, such as accretion and mergers. The study of such systems makes it possible to reveal the source of external accretion and establish the details o...
