The Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger occurred 11.2 ± 0.1 Gyr ago, coinciding with the formation of a group of globular clusters and potentially leaving ω Centauri as its remnant, while placing disk formation at z ≳ 4.

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.
Local disk galaxies have thin vertical structures with median scale heights of 0.22 kpc and negligible flaring, consistent with the Milky Way thin disk and positively correlated with stellar mass down to 10^7 solar masses.
