| Title |
Galaxy Structures and Merging from 0.2 < z < 6.
|
| Abstract |
We examine the latest results concerning the
evolution in the structures of galaxies from the local
universe up to z~6. We present results from the COSMOS,
EGS and UDF surveys and characterise the structure of
galaxies in terms of stellar masses. We find in general
that galaxy structure becomes more asymmetric with
time, and we use this information to determine the merger
history of galaxies and the role of mergers in galaxy formation,
placing the first firm constraints on the importance of this
formation mode.
