Abstract:
How to build a galaxy? Galaxy formation was undoubtedly a very
messy process and, at first glance, this seems to be a most difficult
question to answer. But there are numerous clues, both near and
far, that are allowing us to understand how galaxies formed. These
clues come from radio, infrared, optical, and ultraviolet observations
of the nearby and distant Universe. We will explore these clues
and see how the next generation of telescopes will help us understand
how to build a galaxy.
