Hot and counter-rotating star-forming disc galaxies in IllustrisTNG and their real-world counterparts

A key feature of a large population of low-mass, late-type disc galaxies are star-forming discs with exponential light distributions. They are typically also associated with thin and flat morphologies, blue colours, and dynamically cold stars moving along circular orbits within co-planar thin gas di...
