Galaxy Discussion Group (2013 - 2014)

This is the page for the 2013/2014 NRAO/UVA Galaxy Discussion Group. The purpose of this group is to discuss various topics related to galaxies and galaxy evolution. The discussions are informal and are led by volunteers depending on the topic of the day. Contact Adam Leroy (aleroy at nrao.edu) or Jen Donovan Meyer (jmeyer at nrao.edu) to be added to the email list for this group. Please find the list of discussion topics for 2012/2013 here.

Meetings:

Tuesdays from 3:30 to 4:30 in the NRAO Library.

Wish-List Topics and Papers of Interest:
  • modern population synthesis
  • abundance matching (and the "too big to fail" problem -- maybe a separate discussion?)
  • the new HI dwarfs (e.g., Leo P) / Local Group dwarfs
  • z~2 ISM from dust
  • "two populations" numerology for the star forming main sequence
  • intensity mapping (HI or CO)
  • physics of [CII] -- PDR models
