Abstract
Under the standard paradigm, galaxy mass assembly is governed by the growth of dark-matter halos, but much observational evidence suggests that baryonic processes regulate its efficiency. These processes link gas content, star formation, and metallicity, that together define the evolutionary status of a galaxy. This talk will illustrate how baryonic scaling relations can help constrain the physics behind galaxy evolution, with particular emphasis on the low-mass dwarf galaxies thought to be prominent in the early universe.”
