Abstract:
In this thesis, we employ two numerical tools - semi- analytical models and N-body plus hydrodynamical simulations of large scale structure and individual galaxies - to explore the underlying physics governing the formation and evolution of groups of galaxies, and the role of environment in generating polar structures around disk galaxies. Using phenomenological models of baryonic physics imposed upon large-scale dissipationless simulations of the Universe, semi-analytic models (SAMs) are one of the principal methods used to model large samples of model galaxies.

L’évolution de la luminosité infrarouge et de l’UV peut s’expliquer par une chute de la formation stellaire entre les décalages spectraux de 0. 4 à 1, c’est-à-dire depuis 7 à 10 milliards d’années. Cette chute est due à deux types de galaxies : les galaxies infrarouges et les galaxies compactes lumineuses. Au cours de cette thèse, j’ai particulièrement étudié un échantillon de spectres de ces galaxies compactes observées au VLT.

In this thesis, we investigate the luminosity functions (LFs) and projected number density profiles of galactic satellites around isolated primaries of differing luminosity. To this end, we develop a new method to select isolated galactic satellite systems using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic and photometric galaxy samples. For specific luminosity primaries, we are able to stack as many as ~ 50,000 galaxy systems to obtain robust statisitcal results. Based on these samples, we derive accurate satellite luminosity functions extending almost 8 magnitudes fainter than their pri

Evolution of galaxies is one of the most important topics in astronomy to understand how the universe has been evolving. In particular, galaxy groups are important because they are the observable equivalent of dark matter (DM) haloes, and thus offer a direct insight into the physics that has occurred in the DM haloes in the Universe up to the present day. Isolated galaxies are crucial for studying intrinsic and secular processes able to affect the structure, morphology, and dynamics of galaxies for obtaining clear relationships and correlations to be confronted with the model predictions.

We characterize the mass distribution of the disks in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G, Sheth et al. 2010) and study the properties of the different stellar structure components and the interplay between them.

A correlation between the molecular hydrogen fraction and the metallicity of a region allows the time evolution of H(_2) to be described.
