Simulating Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
The 9th astrophysics conference: After the dark ages, when galaxies were young (the Universe at 2<Z<5), 1998 The forwards approach to galaxy formation and evolution is extremely powerful but leaves several questions unanswered. Foremost among these is the origin of disks.

Galaxy-galaxy(-galaxy) lensing as a sensitive probe of galaxy evolution [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 The gravitational lensing effect provides various ways to study the mass environment of galaxies. We investigate how galaxy-galaxy(-galaxy) lensing can be used to test models of galaxy formation and evolution.

Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 2021 The Galaxy Evolution Probe (GEP) is a concept for a mid- and far-infrared space observatory to measure key properties of large samples of galaxies with large and unbiased surveys. GEP will attempt to achieve zodiacal light and Galactic dust emission photon background-limited observations by utilizing a 6-K, 2.0-m primary mirror and sensitive arrays of ...

On the Root Cause of the Host “Mass Step” in the Hubble Residuals of Type Ia Supernovae
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 It is well established that the Hubble residuals of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) show the luminosity step with respect to their host galaxy stellar masses.

Galaxy harassment and the evolution of clusters of galaxies [PDF]
Nature, 1996 Disturbed spiral galaxies with high rates of star formation pervaded clusters of galaxies just a few billion years ago, but nearby clusters exclude spirals in favor of ellipticals. ``Galaxy harassment" (frequent high speed galaxy encounters) drives the morphological transformation of galaxies in clusters, provides fuel for quasars in subluminous hosts ...

Chemical Homogeneity of Wide Binary Systems: An Approach from Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Wide binaries, with separations between the two stars from a few au to more than several thousand au, are valuable objects for various research topics in Galactic astronomy.

Unraveling Joint Evolution of Bars, Star Formation, and Active Galactic Nuclei of Disk Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We aim to unravel the interplay between bars, star formation (SF), and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in barred galaxies. To this end, we utilize the SDSS DR12 to select a sample of nearby (0.02 < z < 0.06) disk galaxies that are suitable for bar ...

Secular evolution in galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985 We have adapted the N-body code of Van Albada (1982) to study the secular evolution of a hot collisionless stellar component (E galaxy or galactic bulge) due to slow changes in another component of the same galaxy. Our equilibrium starting model is a non-rotating triaxial ellipsoid with axial ratios 1.3:1.4:2.0; the effects of the “other component” are
