Abstract
X-ray observations are providing exciting results about the formation
and evolution of galaxies, bringing new insight into the interplay
between galaxies and the diverse physical components of which they are
composed, and with which they interact. This workshop focuses on the
diverse physics occurring within and around galaxies, with a particular
emphasis on diffuse hot gas, but including galactic nuclei, the growth
of SMBH, stellar/AGN feedback, stars and star formation, and
environmental effects (e.g., stripping, mergers). The goals of this
workshop are to bring together observers and theorists to review what
we have learned in the last decade and to identify important but
unsolved problems whose solution could significantly improve our
understanding of galaxies, looking towards the most effective use of
X-ray observatories in the next decade.
