SUMMARY:Measuring a Galaxy: Morphology, Mass, Environment and Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Measuring a Galaxy: Morphology, Mass, Environment and Evolution
 \nDr. Lee Kelvin\n\nWhat can the  shape and size of a galaxy tell us about
  how it has evolved across  cosmic time? Which evolutionary mechanisms are
  important, or relevant,  and which not? How do galaxies form in the early
  Universe? As we enter a  new era of big-data astronomy, our capacity to f
 urther pursue answers  to these questions is increasingly limited not by H
 uman ingenuity but by  our use of 20th century data analysis techniques. I
 n this talk, I will  summarise my work with the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (
 GAMA) Survey in  measuring the multi-wavelength light profile and stellar 
 mass properties  of ~200,000 galaxies in the local Universe. I will show h
 ow the stellar  mass function may be broken down by morphology and structu
 ral  component, and the implications this has for our understanding on whi
 ch  evolutionary mechanisms are important in shaping the galaxies around u
 s  over the course of the last 1 billion years.
