... Galaxy formation and evolution is one of the key problems of modern astronomy. Galaxies in the universe come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, which we refer to as the Hubble sequence. The study of galaxy formation and evolution aims at explaining this variety as well as its statistical properties. Though the formation, and to some extent the evolution of galaxies still is one of the most active research areas in astrophysics. ...
