Star Formation & Evolution - A large view
This last theoretical lecture touched on topics that link all the concepts described during the course with a wider view on the evolution of galaxies and the universe itself. This is a brief list of topics discussed:
Understanding galaxy spectra.
Stellar population and the initial mass function (IMF).
Star Formation Rate (SFR) and its efficiency along with the history of the Universe.
SFR and the accretion into SuperMassive Black Holes (SMBHs).
Stellar Population Models (SPMs): a comprehensive description of mass assembly on galaxies, their stellar ages, and metallicities through detailed modeling of their optical/near-IR spectra and multiwavelength properties.
