The Formation and Evolution of Star Clusters and Galaxies [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 2005 AbstractThis paper addresses the questions of what we have learned about how and when dense star clusters form, and what studies of star clusters have revealed about galaxy formation and evolution. One important observation is that globular clusters are observed to form in galaxy mergers and starbursts in the local universe, which both provides ...

Formation and Evolution of E+A Galaxies in Dusty Starburst Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 The formation and evolution of the ``E+A'' (also named ``k+a'' and ``a+k'' types by Dressler et al. 1999) galaxies found in significant numbers in the cores of intermediate redshift clusters has been extensively discussed by many authors. In this paper, we model the spectral, dynamical and morphological evolution of a prime candidate for producing this

UGC 7639: A Dwarf Galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud
Advances in Astronomy, 2015 We want to get insight into the formation mechanism and the evolution of UGC 7639, a dwarf galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud (CVnIC). We used archival multiwavelength data to constrain its global properties. Ultraviolet images show that UGC 7639 inner

Physical Sciences Forum, 2023 The G2 gas cloud motion data and the scarcity of observations on the event horizon-scale distances have challenged the comprehensiveness of the central supermassive black hole model.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The quenched fraction of satellite galaxies is aligned with the orientation of the halo’s central galaxy, such that on average, satellites form stars at a lower rate along the major axis of the central.

Parallelization, Special Hardware and Post-Newtonian Dynamics in Direct N - Body Simulations [PDF]
, 2008 The formation and evolution of supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries during and after galaxy mergers is an important ingredient for our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution in a cosmological context, e.g.

From Clusters to Proto-Clusters: The Infrared Perspective on Environmental Galaxy Evolution
Universe, 2022 Environment is one of the primary drivers of galaxy evolution; via multiple mechanisms, it can control the critical process of transforming galaxies from star forming to quiescent, commonly termed “quenching”. Despite its importance, however, we still do

The “Building Blocks” of Stellar Halos
Galaxies, 2017 The stellar halos of galaxies encode their accretion histories. In particular, the median metallicity of a halo is determined primarily by the mass of the most massive accreted object.

The Evolution of the Mass-Metallicity Relation at 0.20 < z < 0.35 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2013 We present a spectroscopic study of 343 blue compact galaxies (BCGs) at 0.20 < z < 0.35 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7 data. We derive gas phase oxygen abundance using the empirical and direct method.

Stellar populations in gas-rich galaxy mergers I. Dependence on star formation history
, 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 ...
