Galaxies in the young universe. Proceedings of a workshop held at Ringberg Castle, Tegernsee, Germany, 22-28 September 1994 (Q1904380)

[The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.] The volume contains 35 works presented at the workshop. The issue is the formation and evolution of galaxies at very early stages of the evolution -- observational possibilities and results on the one hand, and theoretical expectations on what to observe on the other. The observational possibilities seem to be promising with the new generation of large telescopes, increased access to a wider range of the electromagnetic spectrum, and efficient detectors and data processing. The domains of theoretical approaches offer rapid progress in model simulations of the constraints imposed by important observational facts (smoothness of cosmic microwave background, deep galaxy counts, detection of quasars at very high redshift). The main problem seems to be that no genuine galaxy has been observed so far in the formation phase. Maybe one does not know exactly what to observe. The results of the deep surveys have to be waited for at the moment. The theory is summarized by \textit{M. S. Turner} (The hot big bang and beyond), \textit{G. Börner} et al. (Cosmological structure formation in hot and cold dark matter scenarios), \textit{G. F. R. Ellis} (Observations and cosmological models) and \textit{J. Peacock} and \textit{S. McNally} (Fluctuation spectra and high-redshift objects). The observational background is discussed in three red-shift-categories. The models and simulations of galaxy formation are discussed in 8 papers, and the survey activities are reviewed in 5 articles. The problem may be considered to be one of the most promising fields in cosmogony and cosmology where the point efforts of observation and theory are about to bring the first important results very soon.
