The Current Status of Galaxy Formation
arXiv:1207.3080 · doi:10.1088/1674-4527/12/8/004
Abstract
Understanding galaxy formation is one of the most pressing issues in cosmology. We review the current status of galaxy formation from both an observational and a theoretical perspective, and summarise the prospects for future advances.
Minor change in Sect. 6 (resolution of ERIS simulation). Note that the figures of the arXiv version are typically sharper than on the published version
