Galaxy Transformation
Across Space and Time

The 3rd Australia-ESO meeting
4-8 September, Australian Academy of Science, Canberra

Rationale

Galaxies transform throughout their lifetimes as a result of internal processes, interactions with other galaxies, their environments, and the cosmic web. The interplay of these processes alter the distribution of properties used to characterise the galaxy population. Understanding the impact and relative importance of that interplay is critical to galaxy evolution as whole. With new capabilities enabling highly-resolved investigations of gas and stars in local galaxies, it is now possible to disentangle detailed star-formation and assembly histories for a wide variety of galaxy types. Simultaneously, surveys pushing resolved observations to earlier epochs are providing important constraints on the evolution and transformation of dynamics and chemical distributions. Together these approaches have the power to discern complex assembly histories over the last 7-10 Gyrs, when simulations suggest that dramatic morphological and kinematic evolution is expected to occur. However, the exact timing and nature of these transformations are debated. 

In this conference we aim to connect observations and simulations of galaxy transformations across cosmic time, with a particular focus on the following questions:


• How does environment shape the star-formation history of galaxies?
• How do we connect galaxy populations across epochs?
• What is the environmental impact on redistributing angular momentum?
• How do stellar and AGN feedback regulate the gas-star formation cycle at z~0?
