Title: Toward a better understanding of galaxy formation in ΛCDM: part II
Speaker: Dr. Yen-Ting Lin (Research Fellow)
(Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica)
Place: Science Building III SC157
Abstract:
I will continue my unfinished talk from last year(!) and provide a general overview of our current understanding of how galaxies form in the framework of the standard model of cosmology. I will review the success and potential problems ΛCDM faces in producing the galaxy population we observe, and finish with our recent validation of ΛCDM using the most massive galaxies in the universe.
