A unified linear intrinsic alignment model for elliptical and disc galaxies and the resulting ellipticity spectra

Alignments of disc galaxies were thought to result from tidal torquing, where tidal field of the cosmic large-scale structure exert torquing moments onto dark matter haloes, determining their angular momentum and ultimately the orientation of galactic discs. In this model, resulting intrinsic ellipt...
