Stellar Dating and Formation of Galactic Spheroids
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Extract
In recent years a view spread widely according to which spheroidal stellar systems are not as old as argued by Baade forty years ago and for a long time given for granted. In this – more modern view – most galactic bulges may form late, e.g. as a spontaneous corruption of disks, and most ellipticals may seemingly be late comers, perhaps the result of merging spirals.
