  1. Global Properties and Formation Scenarios Session 6 Introduction by M. Fall

  2. Assembly • Merging vs accretion lumpy or smooth • Hot vs cold accretion importance of shocks • Hierarchy vs something else massive old E galaxies at high z • Disk vs spheroid physics of morphology • Disk-halo conspiracy Vc(R) ~ constant

  3. Feedback • How important is it in the mass, energy, and metal budgets of galaxies? (more for low-M galaxies?) • Is it driven by stars, AGN, or something else? (stars for low-M galaxies, AGN for high-M galaxies?) • How does it couple to the ISM of galaxies? (dependence on opacity and small-scale, multi-phase structure of the ISM?) • How does it affect galaxy assembly? (regulation or just removal?)

  4. Star Formation • SFR = fn (mass of gas,.…, other variables?) • Burst vs quiescent: different modes of SF or just different rates? • Tightness of dMs/dt vs Mg (Schmidt-Kennicutt) relation • Similarity of star and star cluster formation in interacting and normal galaxies • What causes “downsizing” (more recent SF in low-M galaxies):

  5. AGN • What causes the tight BH-bulge relations? • Is the influence BH→bulge or bulge→BH? • When were these connections established?

  6. Scaling Relations • V-R-C-Z-L relations and projections • When were they established? • How do they evolve? (slowly z = 0→1?) • Ancestor/descendant problem (LBGs, sub-mm sources, etc) • Comparisons with models • Bimodality: critical feature or wrinkle? • Evolution in number, masses, sizes of galaxies
