Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Galaxies are formed and evolve in regions of different matter densities. Due to the galaxies' motions through the cosmos, they meet changing environments. By their mutual gravitational attraction galaxies assemble to massive complexes, like galaxy groups and clusters. They also experience mutual interactions and with the intergalactic gas, growth by accretion of circumgalactic gas and satellite galaxies. These processes determine the evolution of galaxies and partly lead to morphological transformation.
In this course we will study the environments of galaxies, their various environmental effects and consequences on the evolution of galaxies.

Assessment and permitted materials

The oral presenations will be based on published articles about subtopics.
An exam will ask for the presented topics.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Participation in the courses of >75%, active contributions during the course, and at least one self-sustained presentations of actual topics/publications.

Examination topics

During the last quarter of the course one brief written test shall help for the grading.

Reading list
