ED352 - Cours 'Evolution des galaxies dans la toile cosmique' - De La TORRE/MOUTARD

This lecture presents our current knowledge of the general processes involved in galaxy formation and evolution and how those are linked to the global build-up of the large-scale structure of the Universe. It gives an overview of currently observed galaxy properties at different cosmic epochs as well as theoretical models that allow the description of the galaxy distribution. Finally, the mapping of the large-scale structure by galaxies is discussed in terms of its potential to probe the cosmological model.

Here are the different parts of the lecture:
1. The process of galaxy formation
2. Observations of galaxy evolution in large surveys
3. Modeling galaxies within the large-scale structure
4. Galaxy properties and their evolution in relation with the large-scale structure
5. Galaxies as cosmological tracers
