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…
What can biologists say about galaxy evolution ?
Didier Fraix-Burnet, Philippe Choler, Emmanuel J. P. Douzery
It is possible to borrow from a topic of biology called phylogenetic systematics, concepts and tools for a logical and objective classification of galaxies. It is based on observab…
