In this talk, I will discuss a few particular topics, rather than attempting a general review of the formation of disk galaxies. First recall the basic structure and kinematics of a disk galaxy like the Milky Way. The Table below lists the four main structural components as they are presently understood, and gives typical masses, and (if known) the characteristic rotational velocities (at the sun) and the radial velocity dispersion for each component. For more details, see Freeman (1987).
