Measuring the masses of galaxies as a function of redshift is
perhaps one of the most challenging open issues in current
astronomical research. The evolution of the baryonic and dark
matter components of galaxies is not only a critical test of the
hierarchical formation paradigm, but ultimately also provides new
clues on the complex interplay between star formation, the cooling
and heating of gas and galaxy merging processes.
This book reviews current techniques to measure the baryonic
(stellar) and dark masses of nearby galaxies, and focusses on
ongoing attempts to measure these same quantities in galaxies at
higher and higher redshifts. It also gives room to future
perspectives, with special emphasis on new survey projects and
satellite missions.
