Contents:
Galaxies: an overview -- Astronomical measurements -- The properties of stars -- Morphology of galaxies -- Evolution of stars and stellar populations -- Star clusters -- The cosmic distance scale -- The interstellar media of galaxies -- The Milky Way's ISM -- Components of the Milky Way -- Stellar Kinematics in external galaxies -- APPENDICES: A: Gravitational deflection of light -- B: Important astronomical catalogs -- C: Richardson-Lucy deconvolution -- D: Useful numbers.
Summary: This is a treatment of the phenomenology of galaxies. The text draws on observations of both our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and of external galaxies. It emphasizes the observational basis for current understanding of galactic astromony in the late '90s.
