Chiaki Kobayashi, Ralph Sutherland How galaxies did form and evolution? - to answer this unsolved problem, we are simulating the formation and evolutionary history of galaxies in the Universe, including star formation, supernovae feedback, and chemical enrichment. Comparing the spacial distribution of elements within galaxies with observations, we will examine fundamental physical processes that drive galaxy formation. ...

This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...

EVOLUTION OF GALACTIC DISCS: TWO MODES OF STAR FORMATION ABSTRACT We develop the model of the evolution of surface gas density, stellar density, star formation rates and chemical composition of galactic disc taking into account the gravitational instability of rotating gaseous layer in the scales of several kpc. ... In the model we took into account the gas return from evolved stars, a radial movement of the gas in a spiral arms and accretion of the gas into the galactic disc. ...
