| Course Description | A broad introduction to galaxies: what they contain; how to describe them; and properties of galactic populations in different environments and at different times. This will include: - Discussion of galactic dynamics, which describes the gravitational framework within which galaxies form as dark matter and collisionless baryons (i.e. stars/compact objects/BH) interact; - The physics and properties of the ISM/IGM that shape their baryonic content. - A synthesis of the previous sections to describe methods to study and the state of our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. |
