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 ...

The epoch of galaxy formation [PDF]
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.

Galaxy Threshing and the Formation of Ultracompact Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
Recent spectroscopic and morphological observational studies of galaxies around NGC 1399 in the Fornax Cluster (Drinkwater et al. 2000b) have discovered several `ultra-compact dwarf' galaxies with intrinsic sizes of $\sim$ 100 pc and absolute $B$ band magnitudes ranging from -13 to -11 mag.

The role of submillimetre galaxies in hierarchical galaxy formation [PDF]
We study the role of submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the galaxy formation process in the Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmology. We use the Baugh et al. (2005) semi-analytical model, which matches the observed SMG number counts and redshift distribution by assuming a top-heavy initial mass function (IMF) in bursts triggered by galaxy mergers.

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.

The formation of galaxy discs [PDF]
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 ...

DLAs AND GALAXY FORMATION [PDF]
Damped Lyman-α systems (DLAs) are useful probes of star formation and galaxy formation at high-redshift (hereafter high-z). We study the physical properties of DLAs and their relationship to Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations based on the concordance Λ cold dark matter model.

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.
