Making Galaxies one Star at a Time
Tom Abel (Stanford/KIPAC) - Feb 25, 2008 at 12:10 pm
The physics of galaxies is quite complex.
Their dynamical time scales are much shorter than
the age of the universe and as such it is not surprising
that they proof very difficult to model from first principles.
In this talks I give a number of examples of what has
become possible in this direction in the past decade.
In particular, I highlight the physics of the first galaxies
as well as discuss some aspects of the role of magnetic
fields in the formation and evolution of galaxies.
The seminar will be held in 544 Campbell Hall.
