A Phenomenological Model for the Evolution of Proto-Galaxies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The contraction model of Field and Colgate for proto-galaxies, first proposed to describe the observed properties of quasars, is generalized and used to investigate the evolution of galaxies. The LEDA data base for elliptical, spiral, compact and diffuse galaxies is employed and it is shown that the above model is consistent with observational evidences regarding their dynamical evolution, star formation rate and different morphologies.

Quasars as Extreme Case of Galaxies
We introduce a phenomenological investigation of the evolution and large scale distribution of quasars using a modified version of the Field and Colgate gravitational contraction model for proto-galaxies. By studying the distribution of about 7000 quasars in 5 luminosity classes, it seems that, such a model is capable of solving the energy problem and discussing some of the observational proper...
متن کاملAstrophysical and Cosmological Information from Large-scale sub-mm Surveys of Extragalactic Sources
We present a quantitative analysis of the astrophysical and cosmological information that can be extracted from the many important wide-area, shallow surveys that will be carried out in the next few years. Our calculations combine the predictions of the physical model by Granato et al. (2004) for the formation and evolution of spheroidal galaxies with up-to-date phenomenological models for the ...
متن کاملA Phenomenological Model for QSOs
A combined model on the basis of generalized Field-Colgate and Terlevich-Melnick models are proposed for QSOs. Using LBQS data, it seems that the predictions of the model is confirmed by observations. The behavior of comoving density versus redshift is consistent with LDDE for QSQs. Considering the cosmic evolution of SFR, a unified aspect for origin and evolution of QSOs and ordinary galaxies ...
متن کاملScaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملFeedback Processes in Early-type Galaxies
We present a simple phenomenological model of feedback in early-type galaxies that tracks the evolution of the interstellar medium gas mass, metallicity, and temperature. Modeling the star formation rate as a Schmidt law with a temperature-dependent efficiency, we find that intermittent episodes of star formation are common in moderatesize ellipticals. Our model is applicable in the case in whi...
