The Chemical Evolution of the Galaxy [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985 Over the last few years, our picture of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy has changed substantially. These changes are of interest because chemical evolution provides a common point of contact for most astrophysical processes of importance to galaxy evolution.

Evolution of clusters of galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 1991 In hierarchical models for structure formation like CDM, the mass scale of clustering evolves rapidly and clusters in the past are predicted to be less massive, but denser and more numerous. The indication from optical searches is that the cluster population is roughly stable in that high velocity dispersion clusters seem to be about as abundant at z ~

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Keystones of galaxy evolution [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are the most insignificant extragalactic stellar systems in terms of their visibility, but potentially very significant in terms of their role in the formation and evolution of much more luminous galaxies. We discuss the present observational data and their implications for theories of the formation and evolution of both dwarf

Cosmological evolution of galaxies [PDF]
, 2013 I review the subject of the cosmological evolution of galaxies, including different aspects of growth in disk galaxies, by focussing on the angular momentum problem, mergers, and their by-products. I discuss the alternative to merger-driven growth -- cold accretion and related issues.

Kinematics of Cluster Galaxies and Their Relation to Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract We study the kinematics of galaxies within massive clusters, as a probe of the physics of star formation quenching within clusters. Using N-body simulations, we argue that satellite kinematics provide information about galaxy infall that is complementary to the (instantaneous) spatial distribution of satellites and can help ...

On the origin and evolution of life in the Galaxy [PDF]
International Journal of Astrobiology, 2010 AbstractA simple stochastic model for evolution, based upon the need to pass a sequence ofncritical steps is applied to both terrestrial and extraterrestrial origins of life. In the former case, the time at which humans have emerged during the habitable period of Earth suggests a value ofn=4.

The chemical evolution of galaxies
Metals -- heavy elements synthesized during various phases of stellar evolution or during supernova explosions -- play a fundamental role in shaping galaxy evolution. In fact, their relative abundances, spatial distribution, and scaling with galactic properties reflect the constant interplay between star-formation, nucleosynthesis, and gas flows that ...
