Nature Communications, 7, Article 13269. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms13269

Galaxies grow through both internal and external processes. In about 10% of nearby red galaxies with little star formation, gas and stars are counter-rotating, demonstrating the importance of external gas acquisition in these galaxies. However, syste...
