Inhaltsangabe

This book introduces various physical processes related to the formation and evolution of galaxies, such as gravitation, electromagnetism, statistical physics, condensed matter, non-equilibrium processes, and relativity. Real data are analyzed using statistical methods and theoretical understanding. These topics give students and researchers in other fields a cross-sectional, interdisciplinary review. In particular, the author puts a great emphasis on multi-wavelength observations and surveys, which are now fundamental to understand the physics of any kind of cosmological and galactic comprehensive study. This is the first book to look at multi-wavelength surveys from the view of both observation and theory.

This book is intended to be a standard guide to the physics of galaxy formation and evolution, which is popular in astrophysics but is not dealt with in detail in other books for young graduate students and non-experts in physics. Physical processes related to the formation and evolution of stars in galaxies are particularly mentioned from the view of multi-wavelength observations, which leads to an understanding of how the current universe has developed.
