Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The goal of this course is to provide an overview of our current understanding
of the assembly history of galaxies and their structural components (e.g., bulge, disk), laying special emphasis on recent insights gained from spatially resolved integral field spectroscopy.

The course will cover the following topics:

- inside-out and outside-in growth of galaxies
- star formation quenching mechanisms and galaxy downsizing
- formation of galaxy bulges
- stellar migration
- co-evolution of super-massive black holes with their galaxy hosts
- age and metalicity gradients in galactic disks and early-type galaxies (ETGs)
- Diffuse Ionized Gas and LI(N)ER emission in galaxies
- low-surface brightness galaxies, ultra-diffuse galaxies, ultra-compact dwarf galaxies
- starburst-driven feedback proecesses and production and escape of Lyman-alpha and Lyman continuum radiation

Übungen
- evolutionary and population spectral synthesis models
- modeling of the spectrophotometric evolution of galaxies for different star formation quenching scenarios
- construction of a simple multi-zone model for simulating color gradients in inside-out forming galaxies.

Assessment and permitted materials

Presentation and discussion (30 min) of a selected publication. Maybe also a small hands-on project within groups of 2-3 students (tbd).
