Distribution of the circularity parameter for eight galaxies from the selected MW-type sample. The curves have been normalized so that the peak value is equivalent to one. The four top panels are galaxies that do not possess a significant CRD, while the bottom panels come from the subsample of 26 galaxies with a significant CRD. The shaded regions represent star particles identified as the CRD component (red) and the main stellar disk (light blue).
