The Formation of Galactic Bulges (Cambridge Contemporary Astrophysics)
C. Marcella Carollo, Henry C. Ferguson, Rosemary F. G. Wyse
Bulges lie at the center of spiral galaxies. Until recently, they were thought to be one of the oldest components in galaxies and thus a key to understanding galaxy formation. Recent observations have drastically changed this view. This volume presents review articles by a panel of international experts who gathered at a conference at the Space Telescope Institute in Baltimore to develop a coherent and global picture of our present understanding of the field. The specialists are from all fields of galactic astrophysics, including R. Carlberg, M. Dickinson, B. Elmegreen, C. Frenk, G. Gilmore, K. Kuijken, D. Pfenniger, J.P. Ostriker, A. Renzini, M. Rich, and H.W. Rix. This volume will be invaluable for all those interested in galaxy formation.
