Understanding Galaxy Formation and Evolution
by V. Avila-Reese
Publisher: arXiv 2006
Number of pages: 50
Description:
The old dream of integrating into one the study of micro and macrocosmos is now a reality. Cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics intersect in a scenario (but still not a theory) of cosmic structure formation and evolution called Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) model.
