描述 | Recent advances in our understanding of instabilities ingalactic type systems have led to an unravelling of some of themysteries of what determines the form galaxies take. This book focuseson the mathematical development of the subject, assuming no priorknowledge of it, with a strong emphasis on the underlying physicalinterpretation. This framework is used to discuss the most relevantinstabilities which are believed to be closely involved in the waygalaxies are formed, in a model independent manner. The relevantobserved properties of galaxies that may be used to establish the roleof these physical mechanisms are discussed. .The book also includes a chapter discussing numerical simulationtechniques, with attention paid to their limitations and to recentadvances in this approach. It is demonstrated that recent developmentsin computer hardware enable a detailed comparison of simulations withanalysis. Thus the simulations extend our physical understandingbeyond the limitations of the analysis. .The book is intended for use by postgraduate students and researchersin the areas of cosmology, extragalactic astronomy and dynamics. . |
