Galactic Structure and the Structure of Galaxies
March 17-21 2008
Systematic surveys both of the stellar populations of our own Galaxy
and of large samples of external galaxies have greatly improved our
view of the structure, kinematics, and chemical properties of
galaxies. At the same time the establishment of a standard paradigm
for the origin and growth of cosmic structure has provided a
well-defined framework within which the observed structures are
supposed to arise. Despite this, the relative importance and the
specific effects of the many physical processes which play a role in
shaping galaxies remain controversial.
This conference aims to
promote a dialogue between observers studying the structure of our own
and other galaxies and theorists trying to understand galaxy formation
and evolution in its cosmological context. The focus will primarily
be at "low" redshift (z < 1) where the detailed structure of galaxies
remains observationally accessible. The conference will last five days
(including one half-day) for a total of about 27 hours of talks and it
will address the following topics.
