COUGS-DESI: A Catalog of Unusual Galaxies with polar Structures in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Context. Polar-structure galaxies (PSGs) host photometrically and kinematically decoupled components oriented at large angles to one another. These systems, which include polar rings, polar disks, polar halos, polar bulges, polar dust lanes, and polar tidal structures, provide valuable insights into...
