MAGNUS II: Rotational support of massive early-type galaxies decreased over the past 7 billion years
The episode discusses a paper titled "MAGNUS II: Rotational support of massive early-type galaxies decreased over the past seven billion years." The hosts analyze findings showing that massive early-type galaxies have lost rotational support over the last seven billion years. This suggests processes like angular momentum stripping are driving this evolution, especially in the most massive systems.
