Galactic Disks - Ken Freeman Colloquium

ATNF Marsfield Lecture Theatre

Abstract

I will give an overview of what we know and don't know about
galactic disks. The talk will focus on general properties of galactic
disks, including some insights that come from the disk of our Galaxy.
I will also discuss some of the current problems in understanding how
galactic disks form and evolve
