Origin of stellar prolate rotation in a cosmologically simulated faint dwarf galaxy

ABSTRACT Stellar prolate rotation in dwarf galaxies is rather uncommon, with only two known galaxies in the Local Group showing such feature (Phoenix and And II). Cosmological simulations show that in massive early-type galaxies prolate rotation likely arises from major mergers. However, the origin...
