AST2040H: Extragalactic Astronomy

This class will explore the properties of galaxies as a function of cosmic time, with a strong emphasis on understanding observational constraints on galaxy formation and evolution. Observations of galaxy formation will be connected to the growth of large-scale structure, so observations of clustering will be explored also. Hierarchical models for the origin of large-scale structure will be described in detail.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
