The study of galaxy formation and evolution is concerned with the processes that formed a heterogeneous universe from a homogeneous beginning, the formation of the first galaxies, the way galaxies change over time, and the processes that have generated the variety of structures observed in nearby galaxies. Search Search Close Active galaxies; 15. The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy, particle physics, and cosmology. Stellar populations and chemical evolution; 11. Elliptical galaxies; 14. 105, No. The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy, particle physics, and cosmology. `Mo, van den Bosch, and White have written a comprehensive text on the modern subject of galaxy formation and evolution. The book is fully self-contained, covering the basic theory in depth, and including the essential background material on observations and the relevant theory from extragalactic astronomy, stellar astrophysics, and cosmology. Galaxy Formation and Evolution 5 will be discussed, both the greater prominence of spheroids and the more rapid star formation in the denser environments probably result from the greater importance of galaxy interactions at early times in these regions. Increasing attention has been given in … 'Mo, van den Bosch, and White have written a comprehensive text on the modern subject of galaxy formation and evolution.
