Abstract:
Polar disc galaxies are characterised by possessing two orthogonal stellar
discs. Using a high resolution cosmological simulation of a polar disc
galaxy I explore the properties of one such galaxy and compare the results
with observations. I demonstrate the effectiveness of using the circular
velocities of the orthogonal discs to calculate the shape of the dark
halo, and study how this unusual object was formed.
