epoch of galaxy formation

(epoch of galaxy assembly)
(before z=1, when many galaxies formed)

The epoch of galaxy formation (or epoch of galaxy assembly) is a term for the time interval when many galaxies formed, an area of current study. Current surveys have uncovered many galaxies with a redshift of more than 1, at peak star-formation epoch and before, ranging back to a redshift between 4 and 6, depending on the author. The Lambda-CDM model and simulations are used to develop theories.
