The origin of galaxies: A review of recent theoretical developments and their confrontation with observation

TL;DR: There is a considerable body of data on galaxies; the problem is in deciding which kind of observation is most relevant to understanding the origin of galaxies as mentioned in this paper, and an attempt is made both to put the present research in its historical perspective and to stress the possibilities for future advances towards the goal of understanding the origins of cosmic structure.

Equilibrium statistical mechanics of relativistic particles with variable masses. I. Nonquantal theory

TL;DR: The necessity for statistical mechanics of relativistic particles endowed with variable rest masses essentially arises from astrophysics (when dealing with clusters of stars or galaxies which do exhibit a mass spectrum) and from the statistical bootstrap model of Hagedorn and Frautschi for inclusive reactions of elementary particles as mentioned in this paper.

Stochastic density fluctuations in the radiation era of the universe

TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersion relation of the radiation-matter-one-component fluid in the universe before the recombination era is solved and the stochastic forces in the heat flux and the viscous tensor are described according to the procedure of Landau and Lifshitz.

The equation of state of a cosmological selfgravitating fluid influenced by thermal or turbulent motion and the primeval background radiation

TL;DR: In this article, the usual dispersion relation of a self-gravitating cosmological fluid ω2=k2vs2−4πGρ is analyzed within thermodynamical theory.

The evolution of nonlinear hydrodynamical density fluctuations of the photon-plasma gas during the recombination era of the Universe

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the density perturbations up to second order was studied in the recombination era of the universe and it was shown that the generated second-order amplitudes reached values of the same order as the first-order Amplitudes within only one tenth of the expansion time for fluctuations with wavelengths corresponding to 107M
