Formation and evolution of disk galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 Global star formation is the key to understanding galaxy disk formation. This in turn depends on gravitational instability of disks and continuing gas accretion as well as minor merging. A key component is feedback from supernovae.

Disk Galaxy Models Driven by Stochastic Self-Propagating Star Formation
Open Astronomy, 2010 We present a model of chemical and spectrophotometric evolution of disk galaxies based on a stochastic self-propagating star formation scenario. The model incorporates galaxy formation through the process of accretion, chemical and photometric evolution ...

Galaxy Evolution with Manifold Learning [PDF]
EntropyMatter in the early Universe was nearly uniform, and galaxies emerged through the gravitational growth of small primordial density fluctuations. Astrophysics has been trying to unveil the complex physical phenomena that have caused the formation and ...

Formation and Evolution of Disk Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 We have developed a semianalitical approach to study galaxy formation and evolution in the cosmological context. Disk galaxies (dark matter halo+luminous disk) are considered to be formed through an extended process of gravitational collapse, whose character is determined by the statistical properties of the density fluctuation field assumed here to be

Understanding Galaxy Formation and Evolution [PDF]
, 2007 The old dream of integrating into one the study of micro and macrocosmos is now a reality. Cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics intersect in a scenario (but still not a theory) of cosmic structure formation and evolution called Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) model. This scenario emerged mainly to explain the origin of galaxies.

Models of Late-type Disk Galaxies: 1-D Versus 2-D
Open Astronomy, 2014 We investigate the effects of stochasticity on the observed galaxy parameters by comparing our stochastic star formation two-dimensional (2-D) galaxy evolution models with the commonly used one-dimensional (1-D) models with smooth star formation. The 2-D

GAIA: Composition, Formation and Evolution of the Galaxy [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001 The GAIA astrometric mission has recently been approved as one of the next two `cornerstones' of ESA's science programme, with a launch date target of not later than mid-2012.

What Regulates Galaxy Evolution? Open Questions in Our Understanding of Galaxy Formation and Evolution [PDF]
New Astronomy Reviews, 2014 In April 2013, a workshop entitled "What Regulates Galaxy Evolution" was held at the Lorentz Center. The aim of the workshop was to bring together the observational and theoretical community working on galaxy evolution, and to discuss in depth of the ...

Merger Induced Globular Cluster Formation and Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 Based on the earlier work of Gunn and McCrea we model the formation of globular clusters in merging galaxies. Neutral hydrogen observations of dwarf irregular galaxies as well as more luminous systems are used to provide the key parameters of the model ...

The formation and evolution of field massive galaxies [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2003 The problem of the formation and evolution of field massive galaxies is briefly reviewed from an observational perspective. The motivations and the characteristics of the K20 survey are outlined. The redshift distribution of Ks<20 galaxies, the evolution of the rest-frame Ks-band luminosity function and luminosity density to z=1.5, the nature and ...
