The Formation of Galaxies

Physics Today, 1987
Galaxies are beacons that cosmologists use to chart the universe out to its remotest depths. Yet unlike a lighthouse, built on a sturdy pillar of rock, a galaxy resembles an island of light constructed on quicksand in a continuous state of flux. Galaxies are not isolated objects, but are surrounded by close companions, with whom they often maintain ...

The formation of galaxies

New Astronomy Reviews, 2001
Abstract The basic framework for a successful theory of large-scale structure is provided by the cold dark matter hypothesis. It works surprisingly well, and has led to predictions, such as the clustering of gas and galaxies as a function of redshift, that have been observationally tested.

Galaxy Manifolds and Galaxy Formation [PDF]

open access: possible, 1992
We are witnessing the emergence of a physical classification of galaxies. New methods of inquiry, including multivariate statistical analysis of galaxy manifolds, scaling laws and correlations provide important clues towards understanding the formative mechanisms and evolutionary histories of galaxies.

Formation of the Galaxy

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1967
From observations it is deduced that the disk and halo were formed about the same time and that most of the previously gaseous Galaxy became stars then. Dimensional analysis indicates that the flattening of a galaxy is related to its energy,E, angular momentum,H, and mass,M, by the dimensionless number - 2EH2/G5M5.

Galaxy Formation and Evolution

Space Science Reviews, 2016
In this chapter, we discuss the current status of observational and computational studies on galaxy formation and evolution. In particular, a joint analysis of star-formation rates (SFRs), stellar masses, and metallicities of galaxies throughout cosmic time can shed light on the processes by which galaxies build up their stellar mass and enrich the ...

On-Going Galaxy Formation

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2002
We investigate the process of galaxy formation as can be observed in the only currently forming galaxies — the so-called Tidal Dwarf Galaxies, hereafter TDGs — through observations of the molecular gas detected via its CO (Carbon Monoxide) emission. These objects are formed of material torn off of the outer parts of a spiral disk due to tidal forces in
