Galaxy formation and evolution  

The aim of the course is to provide the student with the fundamental knowledge of the extragalactic astrophysics, and the formation and evolution of galaxies in the cosmological framework. The student will learn the physical processes which explain the observed properties of galaxies and their evolution. In particular: (1) the main properties of our Galaxy, star forming galaxies, early-type galaxies and galaxy clusters in the present-day universe, (2) dark matter halos, (3) the cosmic evolution of baryonic matter, (4) the physics of galaxy formation, (5) the first luminous objects, (6) the observational studies of galaxy formation and evolution.
