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.

Monolithic View of Galaxy Formation and Evolution [PDF]
Galaxies, 2014 We review and critically discuss the current understanding of galaxy formation and evolution limited to Early Type Galaxies (ETGs) as inferred from the observational data and briefly contrast the hierarchical and quasi-monolithic paradigms of formation and evolution.

The star-formation history of the Milky Way Galaxy [PDF]
Proceedings of IAU Symposium 258, (2009), 'The Ages of Stars', eds
Mamajek, Soderblom & Wyse p. 11-22, 2009 The star-formation histories of the main stellar components of the Milky Way constrain critical aspects of galaxy formation and evolution. I discuss recent determinations of such histories, together with their interpretation in terms of theories of disk ...

On the Formation and Evolution of cD Galaxies [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 The cannibalism mechanism of formation of cD galaxies in clusters of Bautz-Morgan class I is analyzed. Dependences between absolute magnitude of cD galaxies, and of the clusters in which they reside (richness, redshifts) are considered. Evidences are presented in favor of formation of cD galaxies by cannibalism and their evolution.

Stellar populations in gas-rich galaxy mergers I. Dependence on star formation history [PDF]
, 1998 We investigate the nature of stellar populations of major galaxy mergers between late-type spirals considerably abundant in interstellar medium by performing numerical simulations designed to solve both the dynamical and chemical evolution in a self ...

The evolution of the colour-magnitude relation and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z~0.8 [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 We present recent results on the evolution of the colour-magnitude relation and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z~0.8. Results are based on the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) - an ESO large programme aimed at the study of ...
