Mergers drive spin swings along the cosmic web

<p>The close relationship between mergers and the reorientation of the <em>spin</em> for galaxies and their host dark haloes is investigated using a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation (Horizon-AGN). Through a statistical analysis of merger trees, we show that spin swings are m...
