Formation and evolution of galaxies revealed by observational approach
This lecture is also held as a IGPAS lecutre and made in mixture of English and
Japanese. Recent observations with large ground-based / space telescopes revealed various
aspects of formation and evolution of galaixes. In this lecture, by reading fundamental
science papers, understand the formation and evolution of galaxies revealed by observational
approach.
By reading science papers, understand the method of observational astronomy,
technologies of observations, and physical properties revealed by the observations.
Understand the current limit of observational approach to formation and evolution of
galaxies.
By reading science papers selected systematically, review the entire field of
observational approach to formation and evolution of galaixes
The goals of the lecture are 1) understand the "observed" properties of
galaxies in the local universe, including AGNs, 2) understand the "observed" evolution
of the properties in the cosmic history, and 3) overview methods of the observations and
instruments. I expect you will be used to 1) reading English papers, 2) English wording in
the field of astronomy, 3) summarizing papers, and 4) explaining in English.
Every attendee need to read one of the selected papers and make presentation on the
paper. The score will be determined by the presentation.

- 10/07 1-1: Morphological properties, stellar populations
