Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce travail est dédié à l'étude des effets d'environnement sur l'évolution des galaxies, en utilisant un échantillon multi-longueur d'onde. En combinant pour la première fois des observations UV de GALEX à des données en optique, et en infrarouge j'ai déterminé l'histoire évolutive des galaxies. Touts les résultats obtenus montrent que : - les elliptiques géantes sont vieilles, à l'inverse des elliptiques naines qui contiennent toujours des populations stellaires jeunes. - L'importance relative des différents mécanismes d'environnement varie avec l'âge de l'univers. Les interactions de marée ont dominé dans l'univers passé mais la pression dynamique domine dans les amas d'aujourd'hui. - La classe des galaxies SO, n'est pas le résultat d'un seul mécanisme de transformation. - Il y a une forte corrélation entre l'âge moyen des populations stellaires et la masse des galaxies. Comprendre l'origine de cet effet représente aujourd'hui un des défis pour les modèles d'évolution des galaxies.

This book was released on 2011-07-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of the morphology - density relation by Alan Dressler in 1980 brought into the limelight the role played by environment in the formation and evolution of galaxies. The symposium Environment and the Formation of Galaxies: 30 years later, was organised with the purpose of establishing the environmental impact on the evolution of galaxies and its dependence on look-back time. Special emphasis was placed on the physical mechanisms that are responsible for transforming galaxies once they are accreted by a group or a cluster, including the observable imprint left in the galaxy HI distribution. Other major topics of the symposium were the environmental dependence of galaxy properties at z ≥ 1 and the implementation of environmental effects in cosmological models of galaxy formation and evolution. This book presents the edited proceedings of this stimulating meeting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of galaxy evolution from the early Universe to the present day is intricately linked to large-scale environment: the environments of galaxies are expected to play a critical role in the development of their morphologies, star formation activity, and the activity of their central Super Massive Black Holes (SMBHs). Large scale environment can strongly and rapidly affect gas reservoirs which are a prerequisite for both star formation and SMBH activity. We would expect the effect of environment to be most pronounced in massive galaxy clusters, where both the density of the intracluster medium and number density of galaxies are the highest. This has indeed been established for star formation activity in the local and intermediate redshift universe, where dense, cluster environments are more likely to host elliptical, quiescent galaxies. However, the impact of the cluster environment on SMBH activity has been significantly less clear. At high redshift, the impact of clusters on galaxy activity is even less well understood. This is due to both a decline in the number of massive clusters at high redshift as well as increasing observational difficulty in reliably identifying and characterizing both the clusters themselves and their member galaxies. This dissertation tries to bring some clarity to these unknowns. First, we present an analysis of SMBH activity in a sample of massive clusters at intermediate redshift where we confirm a dependence of this activity on cluster mass. Second, we describe the spectroscopic characterization of one of the highest redshift galaxy clusters ever discovered, existing at a lookback time of more than 10 billion years. We model the stellar population of its member galaxies and trace their formation back to the cosmic dark ages, when the Universe was only 370 million years old. Finally, we do a deep dive into this cluster's galaxy population and find it to be remarkably similar to that of clusters in the local universe. We identify a tremendously enhanced quiescent fraction relative to the field and find evidence for accelerated size-evolution in these quiescent galaxies.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key yet poorly understood component to galaxy evolution models is the influence of the local environment, and is a particularly important aspect to understanding the evolution in galaxy clusters. Galaxy clusters are not only host to significant overdensities of galaxies, but these galaxies are embedded in a hot, diffuse Intracluster Medium (ICM). The ICM has long been observed to have important and lasting impacts on the properties of their constituent galaxies, which are commonly attributed to a number of unique astrophysical processes such as the stripping of galaxy gas by the ICM due to ram pressure and repeated tidal interactions. The galaxies in turn have also been observed to play an important role in the evolution of the ICM, especially near the centers of galaxy clusters where powerful outbursts from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can provide a quasi-steady source of heating to the surrounding ICM, a process known as AGN feedback. Although great progress has been made in recent years to understand the connection between galaxies and the ICM, the precise influence of the ICM on cluster galaxies and the astrophysical processes that drive galaxy evolution in clusters are still subject to important uncertainties. It is clear from the data, however, that the predictions of the simplest models of ram pressure stripping, tidal encounters, and AGN feedback are inconsistent with observations; in particular observations taken with the modern generation of X-ray telescopes such as Chandra and XMM-Newton. These telescopes, with their superb angular resolution, large collecting areas, and wide fields of view, have revolutionized our understanding of galaxies in clusters, in particular for AGN. In this thesis, I will present a series of results regarding the nature of ram pressure stripping, harassment, and AGN feedback in cluster member galaxies driven primarily by X-ray observations. These results include multiwavelength observations of one of the most extreme cases of AGN feedback currently known, a mosaic of galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster which are all undergoing different variants of ramp pressure stripping, and the first set of results from one of the largest X-ray AGN surveys ever undertaken with Chandra. All of these results suggest an intricate choreography between the gas reservoirs initially hosted by galaxies and the surrounding ICM, with tests that investigate length scales ranging from 10 kpc to 1 Mpc.

Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Colloquium no. 195, held in Torino, Italy in 2004. The meeting investigated the formation of galaxies within a full cosmological context, focusing on the outer regions of galaxy clusters. The observed correlation of optical and radio properties of galaxies with their environment indicates that the formation and evolution of galaxies is intimately linked to the formation of large scale structure. With chapters written by leading authorities in the field, this timely volume investigates the role of the environment in determining the properties of galaxies. It describes the distribution of matter and galaxies on the largest scales in the Universe, the processes of cluster and galaxy formation, their role and interplay. This is a valuable collection of review articles for professional astronomers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star-formation is one of the key processes that shape the current state and evolution of galaxies. This volume provides a comprehensive presentation of the different methods used to measure the intensity of recent or on-going star-forming activity in galaxies, discussing their advantages and complications in detail. It includes a thorough overview of the theoretical underpinnings of star-formation rate indicators, including topics such as stellar evolution and stellar spectra, the stellar initial mass function, and the physical conditions in the interstellar medium. The authors bring together in one place detailed and comparative discussions of traditional and new star-formation rate indicators, star-formation rate measurements in different spatial scales, and comparisons of star-formation rate indicators probing different stellar populations, along with the corresponding theoretical background. This is a useful reference for students and researchers working in the field of extragalactic astrophysics and studying star-formation in local and higher-redshift galaxies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universe, on extra-galactic scales, is composed of a vast network of structures dubbed the "cosmic web". One of the most fundamental discoveries about the evolution of galaxies is that their properties have a dependence on their location relative to this cosmic web (i.e., their environment). However, detailed studies of the environmental dependence on galaxy evolution have been extremely challenging due to the inherent complexity of the structures on the largest scales, a plethora of techniques being used to try to map the cosmic web, and other confounding factors, such as the masses of galaxies, that also affect their evolution. In this work, we will present a technique for characterizing the environments of galaxies in the cosmic web, which is comprised of two separate, but complementary, methods that together provide a more complete measure of environment. After some introductory background in Chapter 1, we will demonstrate these mapping techniques on the Coma Supercluster, and present an analysis of the star-formation activity of about 4,000 galaxies in the supercluster environment in Chapter 2. Next, in Chapter 3 we present a greatly expanded application of our mapping techniques encompassing about 60,000 galaxies within 200 Mpc that addresses several outstanding questions from the Coma Supercluster study, and also leads to new intriguing insights into the evolution of galaxies as a function of environment. Then, in Chapter 4 we present a pilot study focusing on galaxy evolution as traced by the gas content around two galaxy clusters. We also expand upon this pilot study in Chapter 5, whereupon we examine more closely the resiliency of molecular gas content, compared to the atomic gas, to the effects of the cluster environment. And finally, in Chapter 6 we present some concluding remarks and explore some promising avenues for future study.
