The Formation of Spheroidal Stellar Systems
read the original abstract
We summarize current models of the formation of spheroidal stellar systems. Whereas globular clusters form in an efficient mode of star formation inside turbulent molecular clouds, the origin of galactic spheroids, that is bulges, dwarf ellipticals, and giant ellipticals, is directly coupled with structure formation and merging of structures in the Universe. Disks are the fundamental building blocks of galaxies and the progenitors of galactic spheroids. The origin of the various types of spheroids and their global properties can be understood as a result of disk heating by external perturbations, internal disk instabilities, or minor and major mergers.
