Galactic Bulges

Galactic Bulges edited by Eija Laurikainen, Reynier Peletier, Dimitri Gadotti.

This book consists of invited reviews on Galactic Bulges written by experts in the field. A central point of the book is that, while in the standard picture of galaxy formation a significant amount of the baryonic mass is expected to reside in classical bulges, the question what is the fraction of g...
