Klappentext A lively debate surrounding the existence of Dark Galaxies for graduate students and researchers. Zusammenfassung IAU S244 saw heated debates surrounding the existence and definition of Dark Galaxies. With extensive discussions of topics relating to Dark Galaxies! and state-of-the-art observations that may be used to find them! this volume is an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers.
