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.
