These regions are faint and hard to observe, yet hide a tremendous amount of information on the origin and early evolution of galaxies. They thus allow astronomers to address some of the most topical problems, such as gaseous and satellite accretion, radial migration, and merging. The book is published in conjunction with the celebration of the end of the four-year DAGAL project, an EU-funded initial training network, and with a major international conference on the topic held in March 2016 in Toledo. It thus reflects not only the views of the experts, but also the scientific discussions and progress achieved during the project and the meeting. 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. They tackle disks, haloes, streams, and accretion as observed through deep imaging and spectroscopy, and guide the reader through the various formation and evolution scenarios for galaxies. The reviews focus on the major open questions in the field, and explore how they can be tackled in the future. This book provides a unique entry point into the field for graduate students and non-specialists, and serves as a reference work for researchers in this exciting new field. 410 0$aAstrophysics and Space Science Library,$x0067-0057 ;$v434 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aCosmology. 676 $a521.582 702 $aKnapen$b Johan H$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLee$b Janice C$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGil de Paz$b Armando$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254577703321 996 $aOutskirts of Galaxies$91832694 997 $aUNINA
