In TNG-50, 80% of Milky Way-mass galaxies align their present-day angular momentum with the orbital angular momentum of their most massive merger, and 81% of their stellar halos rotate prograde relative to the disk.

COLIBRE simulations find kinematic galaxy morphology peaks in rotational support at stellar masses of 1-2 x 10^10 solar masses and correlates more with internal properties like gas richness than with host halo properties.
Early kinematically persistent planes of satellite galaxies are fossil remnants of high-redshift anisotropic mass collapse along the principal directions of the local cosmic web during the fast assembly phase of host halos.
