Redshift and stellar mass dependence of intrinsic shapes of disc-dominated galaxies from COSMOS observations below z=1.0

The high abundance of disc galaxies without a large central bulge challenges predictions of current hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation. We aim to shed light on the formation of these objects by studying the redshift and mass dependence of their intrinsic 3D shape distributions in the COSMO...
