The Formation and Evolution of Disk Galaxies
Shude Mao, H. J. Mo, Simon D. M. White
Abstract
We review some of our recent progress in modelling the formation of disk galaxies in the framework of hierarchical structure formation. Our model is not only consistent with the local observations, but also provides a good description of disk evolution out to redshift z~1. We use this model to interpret recent observational results on Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z~3. Assuming that these galaxies are associated with the most massive halos and adopting an empirical law for their star formation rates, we find that many properties of the LBG population, including their correlations, sizes and kinematics can be accommodated in the model.
