Rigging dark haloes: why is hierarchical galaxy formation consistent with the inside-out build-up of thin discs?
State-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations show that gas inflow through the virial sphere of dark matter haloes is focused (i.e. has a preferred inflow direction), consistent (i.e. its orientation is steady in time) and amplified (i.e. the amplitude of its advected specific angular momentum increas...
