商品描述

Galaxies are the fundamental units of cosmic matter that make up the universe and they change in remarkable ways over 13.7 billion years of cosmic time. We are just now discovering how galaxies we can see over these billions of years are evolving from small, star forming systems to larger, more massive and passive systems at later times. This book explains the structural evolution of galaxies, how we measure it, how these measurements change with time, and how observing this reveals important information about galaxy formation and evolution. It also explains the future of the field through the use of machine learning tools, and how galaxy structure can be used as a new approach to measure unique features of the universe, such as cosmological properties and parameters.

 

Key Features

 

  • The first book dedicated to the topic
  • Written by a world-leading expert in the field
  • Includes results from recent galaxy surveys including the Hubble Ultra Deep Fields, GOODS, COSMOS, and CANDELS
  • Explores the future of the field with machine learning tools

商品描述(中文翻譯)

星系是構成宇宙的基本單位，並且在137億年的宇宙時間中以驚人的方式變化。我們現在才開始發現，在這數十億年的時間裡，我們所能看到的星系是如何從小型的恆星形成系統演變為較大、質量更大且較為被動的系統。本書解釋了星系的結構演化、我們如何測量這些演化、這些測量隨時間的變化，以及觀察這些變化如何揭示有關星系形成和演化的重要信息。它還通過使用機器學習工具解釋了該領域的未來，以及如何利用星系結構作為測量宇宙獨特特徵的新方法，例如宇宙學性質和參數。

主要特點

- 第一部專門針對該主題的書籍
- 由該領域的世界領先專家撰寫
- 包含來自最近星系調查的結果，包括哈勃超深場（Hubble Ultra Deep Fields）、GOODS、COSMOS和CANDELS
- 探索該領域未來的機器學習工具
