Physics

Scientific paper

The stars, gas and dust that make galaxies are thought to sit inside much more massive and extended dark matter halos. Observational constraints on the formation, structure and distribution of these dark matter halos agree remarkably well with our expectations for the evolution of collisionless particles in a ΛCDM cosmology. In contrast, our understanding of the evolution of the stars, gas and dust is much less well-developed. This talk looks at what the distribution of stars in phase and chemical-abundance space in the Milky Way might tell us about the messy, baryonic physics that forms galaxies more generally.
