Topics to be addressed:
NUMBERS
- The role of selection effects and isophotal measurement
procedures in galaxy surveys.
- The number density of spirals as a function of surface
brightness.
- Systematic effects in determinations of the local
luminosity function.
- Relevance of low surface brightness galaxies to faint
galaxy counts.
EVOLUTION
- Relevance of low surface brightness galaxies to faint
galaxy morphology.
- Gas content and star formation histories of spiral
galaxies as a function of luminosity and surface
brightness.
- Stellar population evolutionary dos and don'ts.
DARK MATTER
- Dark matter content as a function of luminosity and
surface brightness.
- Requirements imposed on dark matter theories.
- Halo density structure: can exploding galaxies salvage CDM?
