SUMMARY:Puzzles in the Structure of Disk Galaxies\, Astronomy Colloqui
um\, Stephane Courteau\, Queen's University
DESCRIPTION:Galaxies can be described in terms of their structure\, dy
namics
\nand stellar populations. Some very robust correlatio
ns between
\nvarious galaxy structural properties\, such as to
tal luminosity\,
\nmaximum circular velocity\, and size show r
ather small scatter\,
\nhinting at well-regulated galaxy forma
tion processes. A major
\nchallenge to understanding these sc
aling relations\, and ultimately
\ngalaxy formation and evolut
ion\, is the elusive interplay between
\nvisible and dark matt
er. I will discuss the latest derivations
\nof galaxy scaling
relations and their link with modern
\ncosmological models.
