The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the
interface between 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 radiation content; linear and nonlinear growth of cosmic
structure; 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 introduction for
astronomers, cosmologists, and astroparticle physicists to the
broad range of science underlying the formation and evolution of
galaxies.
