Galaxies, Formation

Scientific paper

The epoch of galaxy formation, occurring between one and six billion years after the Big Bang, was initiated by the collapse of over-dense regions of matter, resulting in extraordinary bursts of star formation, rapid growth of massive nuclear black holes, and the rapid structural evolution of the early universe. To understand these phenomena and thus gain insight into the evolution of galaxies in general is a central objective of modern astrophysics. Here, we summarize some important theoretical problems in galaxy formation and review recent data obtained on the ultra-steep spectrum radio sources. These are found in the densest regions of the early universe, and are associated with AGN in the most massive galaxies embedded in what will become the most massive clusters of the present-day universe.
