The formation of disc galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998 We investigate the influence of the cooling epoch on the formation of galaxies in a cold dark matter dominated universe. Isolated haloes, with circular speeds typical of spiral galaxies, have been selected from a low resolution numerical simulation for re-simulation at higher resolution with dark matter and gas components.

The epoch of galaxy formation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Recent advances in technology have enabled astronomers to observe fainter, and more distant, galaxies and to study the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. Recent observations suggest that the bulk of the stars in the universe formed between z = 3 (∼1 × 10^9 years after the big bang) and the present.

Hierarchical galaxy formation [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 We describe the GALFORM semi-analytic model for calculating the formation and evolution of galaxies in hierarchical models. It improves upon, and extends, the Cole et al 1994 model. The model employs a new Monte-Carlo algorithm to follow the merging evolution of dark matter halos with arbitrary mass resolution. It incorporates realistic descriptions of

Formation of Galaxy Clusters [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 Formation of galaxy clusters corresponds to the collapse of the largest gravitationally bound overdensities in the initial density field and is accompanied by the most energetic phenomena since the Big Bang and by the complex interplay between gravity-induced dynamics of collapse and baryonic processes associated with galaxy formation. Galaxy clusters

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987 Theories of galaxy formation via hierarchical clustering of cold dark matter and by fragmentation of gaseous pancakes or shells are reviewed and compared. Dissipative processes are crucial to all theories of galaxy formation, and are discussed in terms of a simple model involving multiple cloud interactions.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 It is argued that within the standard Big Bang cosmological model the bulk of the mass of the luminous parts of the large galaxies likely had been assembled by redshift z ∼ 10. Galaxy assembly this early would be difficult to fit in the widely discussed adiabatic cold dark matter model for structure formation ...

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996 Current ideas on the formation of the Galaxy are reviewed. Many of the observed characteristics of our Milky Way System are consistent with a scenario in which the Galaxy formed inside out, with the inner part of it evolving by rapid collapse of a single protogalaxy, while the outer halo was accreted over an extended period.

The Formation of Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983 The presently fashionable ideas for galaxy formation are reviewed briefly, and it is concluded that the standard isothermal heirarchy fits the available data best. A simple infall picture is presented which explains many of the observed properties of disk galaxies.

The formation of galaxy discs [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001 Galaxy disk formation must incorporate the multiphase nature of the interstellar medium. The resulting two-phase structure is generated and maintained by gravitational instability and supernova energy input, which yield a source of turbulent viscosity that is able to effectively compete in the protodisk phase with early angular momentum loss of the ...
