Determining the evolutionary history of galaxies by astrocladistics : some results on close galaxies
Didier Fraix-Burnet
Astrocladistics, a methodology borrowed from biology, is an objective way of understanding galaxy diversity through evolutionary relationships. It is based on the evolution of all…
Towards a Phylogenetic Analysis of Galaxy Evolution : a Case Study with the Dwarf Galaxies of the Local Group
Didier Fraix-Burnet, Philippe Choler, Emmanuel J. P. Douzery
Context: The Hubble tuning fork diagram has always been the preferred scheme for classification of galaxies. It is based on morphology only. At the opposite, biologists have long t…
Astrocladistics: a phylogenetic analysis of galaxy evolution I. Character evolutions and galaxy histories
Didier Fraix-Burnet, Philippe Choler, Emmanuel J. P. Douzery +1
This series of papers is intended to present astrocladistics in some detail and evaluate this methodology in reconstructing phylogenies of galaxies. Being based on the evolution of…
Astrocladistics: a phylogenetic analysis of galaxy evolution II. Formation and diversification of galaxies
Didier Fraix-Burnet, Emmanuel J. P. Douzery, Philippe Choler +1
This series of papers is intended to evaluate astrocladistics in reconstructing phylogenies of galaxies. The objective of this second paper is to formalize the concept of galaxy fo…
