New Frontiers in Galaxy Morphology Studies

January 25 – 27, 2018

Busan, Korea

 

 

 

Venue: Novotel Ambassador Hotel, Haeundae, Busan, Korea

 

Program

      Jan. 25 (Thu): General Discussion and Reception

      Jan. 26 (Fri): Observational Studies of Galaxy Morphology

      Jan. 27 (Sat): Star Formation Feedback on Galaxy Formation and Evolution

 

Scientific Rationale:

The morphology of galaxies is one of the most important problems in modern cosmology.  Thanks to both high-resolution deep images of galaxies in multi-wavelengths and state-of-art computer simulations of galaxy formation, our understanding of physical processes that govern the evolution of galaxy morphology has been rapidly advanced in the last decade. This workshop aims to review the recent development in both observational and theoretical challenges regarding this outstanding problem.
