Her main work is on the area of galaxy formation and evolution.

Things like galaxy formation are coming in at just about when astronomers think they should, though.

It's not just an esoteric point of galaxy formation that's been explained.

The results also lend support to the prevailing notion of galaxy formation.

This has subsequently motivated interest in galaxy formation and evolution.

The detailed process by which such early galaxy formation occurred is a major open question in astronomy.

Collectively they will provide a key database for studies of galaxy formation and evolution.

The structure and stellar content of M32 is difficult to explain by traditional galaxy formation models.

"We had believed that the process of galaxy formation was pretty much complete in the distant past.

The reason is that these galaxy formation models predict a large number of mergers.

Astronomers also said the findings could provide insights into how dark matter affects galaxy formation.

Just a decade ago early galaxy formation was largely uncharted territory.

He has also made important contributions to our understanding of galaxy formation, evolution and mergers.

Dark matter halos play a key role in current models of galaxy formation and evolution.

This stands in stark contradiction to the accepted models of galaxy formation.

"These unexpected results are likely to have a large influence on our cosmological models and theories of galaxy formation."

The idea that galaxy formation is initiated by primordial turbulence has a long history.

Thuận's areas of interest are extragalactic astronomy and galaxy formation.

The bulk of galaxy formation occurred when the universe was a half to a quarter its present age, cosmologists say.

Without dark matter, the epoch of galaxy formation would occur substantially later in the Universe than is observed.

Her work centered on globular clusters, chemical evolution and galaxy formation.

Exploring galaxy formation in the early universe - How did the first galaxies get so large so quickly?

"There is no evidence that we are seeing back to the point of first galaxy formation," Dr. Williams said.

Studying nearby starburst galaxies can help us determine the history of galaxy formation and evolution.

Silk has given more than two hundred invited conference lectures, primarily on galaxy formation and cosmology.
