GALAXY FORMATION AND EVOLUTION
The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interfaces of astronomy, particle
physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which are needed
to understand how galaxies form and evolve, this book is ideal for researchers entering the field.
Individual chapters explore the evolution of the Universe as a whole and its particle and radi¬
ation content; linear and nonlinear growth of cosmic structures; processes affecting the gaseous
and dark matter components of galaxies and their stellar populations; the formation of spiral and
elliptical galaxies; central
supermassive
black holes and the activity associated with them; galaxy
interactions; and the intergalactic medium.
Emphasizing both observational and theoretical aspects, this book provides a coherent intro¬
duction for astronomers, cosmologists, and astroparticle physicists to the broad range of science
underlying the formation and evolution of galaxies.
HOUJUN MO is Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Massachusetts. He is known for
his work on the formation and clustering of galaxies and their dark matter
halos.
frank van DEN Bosch is Assistant Professor at Yale University, and is known for his
studies of the formation, dynamics, and clustering of galaxies.
SIMON white is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching. He is
one of the originators of the modern theory of galaxy formation and has received numerous
international prizes and honors.
Jointly and separately the authors have published almost
500
papers in the refereed professional
literature, most of them on topics related to the subject of this book.
