The most critical question of our meeting?
Will there be need for a third “MGCT” workshop in two years?!
(And if so, where?)

The matter with galaxies• WMAP: b = 0.047
• 2dF, etc: stars= 0.0022
• So the material content of our workshop encompasses less than 0.2% of the mass-energy budget of the Universe.
Most of this mass in stars today lives in a relatively small fraction of galaxies, with
old stars…
When did they form, or assemble?

Our stars1: Early-type galaxies
The default maxim has been…:
All high-redshift galaxies are progenitors of present-day
massive early-type galaxies…
But the view is more complex now.

The (partial) state of affairs
• The bimodality & the puzzle of the red sequence (old! red! massive!) is cast against the LCDM juggernaut. – Feedback (AGN? Other? Duty cycles?
Consistency?)

The (partial) state of affairs
• The bimodality & the puzzle of the red sequence (old! red! massive!) is cast against the LCDM juggernaut. – What are the physical causes of this bimodality?– When do galaxies “populate” the RS, and how? – Is “feedback” the panacea? (AGN? Other? Duty cycles?)– Merger types (dry mergers’ role? Especially at z<1.)– Are there evolutionary tracks through the green valley?– When & how do the observed scaling relations emerge?

Talks & discussions
• All talks are being taped!• Please feel free to use the easel boards!• All discussion periods have moderators.• Alice Shapley will give a workshop summary at
the very end.• There will be no proceedings beyond a tastefully
done web-based record;• That said, the SOC+ will attempt a concise
synthesis paper, possibly for astro-ph. Comments and suggestions welcome!

Our role at this workshop
• Participate in the discussions, both the structured and informal ones. (Employ as many cocktails as necessary!)
• Moving past survey data-gathering or model-building details, let us concentrate on the emergent key issues fun stuff!
• Please ponder what the last session is about. We’re excited to see what this is as well!
