Title: Environmental dependence on the formation and evolution of galaxies

Date: Wednesday, November 7th, 2007
Time: 12:00
Venue: Villa Bazzoni

Abstract:
Environment deeply affects galaxies from the very earliest stages of their formation throughout their whole history until the present day. The dependence of galaxy properties on environment can be seen in many ways, as a dependence on the local density around each galaxy, as a trend with the mass of the cluster and group where they reside, as a systematic change with position with respect to the center of a cluster and so on. I will present an overview of the observed trends and discuss the possible scenarios that lead to the observed trends.
