The Formation and Evolution of Galaxies
- Galaxy and cluster evolution in the local Universe
- Hot clusters, cool clusters, groups and the isolated field
- Infalling spirals
- Morphological transformations from cluster spirals to lenticulars (S0s)
- Distributions of molecular, neutral & ionized gas
- Formation and evolution in the distant Universe
- Fundamental scaling relationships, from the present to redshift z ~ 1
- Luminosities, sizes, masses, morphologies & star formation histories
- Evolution of bulge and disk components
- Long-lived quiescent stellar populations
- Distribution of HI gas and HII regions
- Stellar and dynamical masses
- Satellite galaxy populations
- Formation epoch of spiral galaxies, at redshifts 1 < z < 2
Galaxy Surveys
