Face-on and edge-on projections of the stellar mass surface density for a subsample of eight galaxies with the most significant counterrotating stellar disks. The galaxies are sorted according to their total mass, from the most to the least massive. We show all the stellar particles that belong to the host galaxy. The solid and dot-dashed yellow circles represent the radii,
and
, of the CRD, respectively, while the dashed white circle represents the optical radius, Ropt, of the galaxy.
