  • Conference proceeding on how the MW is special in the sense that it forms little stars and therefore cannot have undergone a merger for a long time.

  • z=1 galaxies show more frequently “strange” kinematics than locally.

  • GCs can be “friendless”, meaning they have no neighbors with similar kinematics. In addition they look at various subsamples depending e.g. on metallicity and brightness.

  • Combining gravitational lensing and galaxy dynamics (velocity dispersion as a funciton of radius in ellipticals) as a new and independant (!) method of measuring the geometry of the universe.
  • Way cool, if it ever gets on par in accuracy with the other methods.

  • Dwarf galaxies: correlations between their global stellar and dynamical properties, such as circular velocity, mass-to-light ratio, stellar mass, surface brightness, and metallicity.
  • low and high z
  • simulation work
  • SN winds vs. ineficient SF
  • useful to compare to where our data fall on these correlations
