Galaxy Evolution in Three dimensions : Time, Space and Mass
Tadayuki Kodama, Richard Bower, Philip Best +3
There are three major axes to describe the evolution of galaxies, namely, time (redshift), space (environment) and mass (stellar mass). In this article, one topic each will be pres…
Early-type Galaxies in the Cluster Abell 2390 at z=0.23
A. Fritz, B. L. Ziegler, R. G. Bower +2
To examine the evolution of the early-type galaxy population in the rich cluster Abell 2390 at z=0.23 we have gained spectroscopic data of 51 elliptical and lenticular galaxies wit…
The effects of similarity breaking on the intracluster medium
E. J. Lloyd-Davies, R. G. Bower, T. J. Ponman
We construct a family of simple analytical models of galaxy clusters at the present epoch and compare its predictions with observational data. We explore two processes that break t…
Dynamical effects on galaxies in clusters
Ben Moore, Vicent Quilis, Richard Bower
The observed morphological evolution since z ~ 0.5 within galaxy clusters provides evidence for a hierarchical universe. This evolution is driven by dynamical effects that operate…
The Formation History of Early-Type Galaxies: An Observational Perspective
Richard G. Bower, Ale Terlevich, Tadayuki Kodama +1
This talk investigates the formation of early-type galaxies from a deliberately observational view point. I begin by reviewing the conclusions that can be reached by comparing the…
The Influence of Environmental Effects on Galaxy Formation
Richard G Bower
These notes collect together current work on the effect of the environment on galaxy formation and evolution. They are broken into four distinct parts. The first deals with the obs…
