Book Synopsis Gas and Galaxy Evolution by : John Eugene Hibbard
Download or read book Gas and Galaxy Evolution written by John Eugene Hibbard. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Papers from a May 2000 conference explore the role of gas in galaxy evolution, starting with the early universe, continuing through recombination, galaxy formation, and re-ionization, and ending with the local universe. Emphasis is on the interplay between galaxies and their environment, with examination of questions surrounding residual gas signatures of the formation process around galaxies, the possibility of galaxy evolution along the Hubble sequence, and lessons to be learned about the history and fate of galaxies from the structures of their gaseous envelopes. The book includes some 200 H1 and optical images of optically weird galaxies, and of optically normal galaxies with weird H1. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
