ISBN10: 3540725342, ISBN13: 9783540725343, [publisher: Springer] Hardcover How galaxies-and yet larger structures-are formed remains one of the most interesting, topical and important questions facing astrophysicists and cosmologists today. This fully updated and revised edition of The Road to Galaxy Formation draws on the most recent observation of galaxies in the early universe obtained by the very laest ground- and space-based telescopes. New material includes information on and analysis of - precise values of comological parameters and limitations on the properties of the first stars from the WMAP probe - Massive black holes in high-redshift quasars discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - multiple lines of evidence for the phenomenon known as downsizing - detection of X-ray tails of gas being stripped out of galaxies - Clear signs of the importance of feedback from energetic events within galaxies. 700 gr.

ISBN10: 3540725342, ISBN13: 9783540725343, [publisher: Springer Berlin Heidelberg] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The formation of galaxies is one of the greatest puzzles in astronomy, the solution is shrouded in the depths of space and time, but has profound implications for the universe we observe today. This book discusses the beginnings of the process from cosmological observations and calculations. It examines the different theories of galaxy formation and shows where each theory either succeeds or fails in explaining what we actually observe. In addition, the book looks ahead to what we may expect to uncover about the epoch of galaxy formation from the new and upcoming generations of telescopes and technology.
