Present theories on galaxy evolution suggest that S0 type galaxies form as part of the evolutionary process.

Her area of interest is galaxy evolution.

The findings, Sheth continued, have important ramifications for galaxy evolution.

Compact groups are surprisingly numerous, and may play a significant role in galaxy evolution.

The longer duration may affect how dwarf galaxies change over time, and therefore may shed light on galaxy evolution.

"Astronomers are really interested to find out the steps of galaxy evolution," McQuinn says.

In particular, the technique did not account for changes in luminosity of galaxies due to galaxy evolution.

Liske's scientific interests are in cosmology, particularly galaxy evolution and quasars.

This includes careful analysis of the dependence of galaxy evolution on environment.

His research has also focused on the interstellar medium, galaxy evolution, cosmology and black holes.
