The Enduring Mystery of Galaxy Formation - Joss Bland-Hawthorn Colloquium

ATNF Marsfield Lecture Theatre

Abstract

Just how do galaxies get their gas? This simple question
lies at the heart of theories of galaxy formation and has no
easy answer. I will illustrate from theory, observations and
simulations why this tantalizing question continues to
intrigue astronomers and astrophysicists to the present day.
