The evolution of galaxy clustering [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1997
This paper investigates whether nonlinear gravitational instability can account for the clustering of galaxies on large and small scales, and for the evolution of clustering with epoch. No CDM-like spectrum is consistent with the shape of the observed nonlinear spectrum. Unbiased low-density models greatly overpredict the small-scale correlations; high-

Secular evolution in galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006
AbstractNew observations in favour of a significant role of secular evolution are reviewed: central star formation boosted in pseudo-bulge barred galaxies, relations between bulge and disk, evidence for rejuvenated bulges. Numerical simulations have shown that secular evolution can occur through a cycle of bar formation and destruction, in which the ...

The evolution of dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Science, 1988
We propose an evolutionary model for dwarf galaxies in Which initially metal-poor gas-rich dwarf irregular (dI) galaxies evolve through bursting Blue Compact Dwarf(BCD) stages and eventually fade from the BCD phase to become dwarf ellipticals (dE). During the bursting phase the surface brightness of the galaxy increases rapidly due to enhanced OB star ...

Evolution of clusters of galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ~

The Chemical Evolution of the Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - 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.

The evolution of galaxy formation [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Geophysics, 2011
Our history of understanding galaxy formation could be traced through the development of individual ideas. A cynic might be tempted to suggest that new catchphrases are developed at a faster rate than genuine progress is made.
