Eight billion years of disk galaxy evolution: no galaxy is an island

Eight billion years of disk galaxy evolution: no galaxy is an island

We present a brief discussion of the evolution of disk galaxy stellar masses, sizes, rotation velocities, and star formation rates over the last eight billion years. Recent observations have failed to detect significant evolution in the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation, stellar mass-size relation,...

Zusammenfassung:We present a brief discussion of the evolution of disk galaxy stellar masses, sizes, rotation velocities, and star formation rates over the last eight billion years. Recent observations have failed to detect significant evolution in the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation, stellar mass-size relation, and the stellar mass function of disk galaxies. Yet, most z
