How `heredity' and `environment' shape galaxy properties
Gabriella De Lucia
TL;DR
This review discusses how both hereditary factors and environmental influences shape galaxy properties over cosmic time, highlighting the roles of various processes in galaxy evolution within hierarchical cosmologies.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive summary of galaxy evolution processes, their relative importance, and discusses recent findings and open questions in semi-analytic models.
Findings
Environmental effects vary with galaxy mass and epoch
Semi-analytic models incorporate multiple galaxy formation processes
Recent results highlight unresolved issues in galaxy evolution modeling
Abstract
In this review, I give a brief summary of galaxy evolution processes in hierarchical cosmologies and of their relative importance at different masses, times, and environments. I remind the reader of the processes that are commonly included in modern semi-analytic models of galaxy formation, and I comment on recent results and open issues.
