| STAR AND STRUCTURE FORMATION: FROM FIRST LIGHT TO THE MILKY WAY |
|
|
|
Format and Topic
|
|
|
| The meeting intends to bring together experts on observations of the early universe and of the local universe, on numerical simulations of galaxy and structure formation, and theoreticians. They will compare in a critical framework the available constraints and current predictions concerning the formation of stars and the assembly of matter which lead to the galaxy population that we observe in the universe today. |
|
|
We have organized the sessions around eight themes or questions, as follows
|
1. When there was first Light and how can we look for it?
2. When did reionization occur and what did it?
3. How does metallicity of the Universe develop?
4. How do galaxies grow?
5. When and how are fundamental scaling relations set?
6. What is the underlying physics of disk formation?
7. How does a dense environment affect galaxies?
8. How do baryons and dark matter interact?
9. Session Summaries |
|
|
|
In each session, we will have an introductory talk that sets the context, followed by a series of talks by active researchers who we hope will be able to cover different aspects of the particular topic. In the final ninth session, we are planning to have eight "summary" talks in which progress reported during the meeting and future questions have been identified will be highlighted.
