- Summary:
- Annotation Contains papers from a May 1997 conference addressing the cosmic evolution of galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM). Primary focus is on emission and absorption properties in the restframe ultraviolet. Research compares the UV properties of local galaxies and the IGM with the restframe UV properties of their high redshift counterparts, exploring a range of scenarios for the evolution of galaxies and the IGM over cosmic time. Contains sections on ultraviolet morphology of nearby galaxies, ultraviolet photometry of galaxies at low redshift, ultraviolet spectroscopy of galaxies and intergalactic matter, ultraviolet properties of evolved and active galaxies, restframe UV morphology and photometry of high-Z galaxies, reconciling the high-Z universe with local benchmarks, and future prospects. Includes many color photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
