This book consists of invited reviews written by world-renowned experts on the subject of the outskirts of galaxies, an upcoming field which has been understudied so far. The reviews in the book describe the most modern observations of the outer regions of our own Galaxy, and of galaxies in the local and high-redshift Universe.
Outer regions of the Milky Way.- Resolved stellar populations as tracers of outskirts.- Star formation in the outskirts of galaxies.- Disk fading and regrowth in early-type galaxies.- Imaging haloes and disks.- Outer regions of elliptical galaxies.- ISM in outskirts (HI, CO, etc).- Observing and modelling metallicities.- The outer regions seen at high redshifts.- Evolution of outer structure.- Constraints from numerical modelling.-Accretion: Theory and modelling.- Future prospects: Deep imaging of galaxy outskirts using telescopes large and small.
