One intriguing aspect is how dark matter halos significantly shape spiral galaxies, while galaxy mergers play a crucial role in forming elliptical galaxies.
The book progresses from basic galaxy types to cutting-edge research, examining stellar dynamics, gravitational physics, and cosmology.
A unique feature is its use of Milky Way data to illustrate broader concepts, providing a unifying framework for understanding galaxy formation. By presenting observational data and numerical simulations, it balances accessibility with scientific rigor.
