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 Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the role of halo concentration in the formation of intracluster light (ICL) in galaxy groups and clusters, as predicted by a state-of-the-art semianalytic model of galaxy formation, coupled with a set of high-resolution dark-matter-only ...

The influence of Galactic wind upon the star formation histories of Local Group galaxies [PDF]
, 1997 We examine the possibility that ram pressure exerted by the galactic wind from the Galaxy could have stripped gas from the Local Group dwarf galaxies, thereby affecting their star formation histories.

The Origin of Star Formation in Early-type Galaxies Inferred from Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the origin of star formation activity in early-type galaxies with current star formation using spatially resolved spectroscopic data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

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 ...

Bar Formation in Milky Way type Galaxies
Open Astronomy, 2016 Many barred galaxies, possibly including the Milky Way, have cusps in their centers. There is a widespread belief, however, that the usual bar instability, which occurs in bulgeless galaxy models, is impossible for cuspy models because of the presence of

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present kinematics of six local extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) with low metallicities (0.016–0.098 Z _⊙ ) and low stellar masses (10 ^4.7 –10 ^7.6 M _⊙ ).

The time-evolution of bias [PDF]
, 1998 We study the evolution of the bias factor b and the mass-galaxy correlation coefficient r in a simple analytic model for galaxy formation and the gravitational growth of clustering. The model shows that b and r can be strongly time-dependent, but tend to

Properties of Galaxy Groups in the SDSS: II.- AGN Feedback and Star Formation Truncation [PDF]
, 2006 Successfully reproducing the galaxy luminosity function and the bimodality in the galaxy distribution requires a mechanism that can truncate star formation in massive haloes.
