“Normal” galaxies are quiescent systems that do not produce extremely energetic emission. In fact, the Milky Way is a good example of a normal galaxy! The formation and evolution of these galaxies in the Universe remains an open area in cosmology. Some of the topics of research at NCRA-TIFR include morphological evolution of galaxies, high-resolution studies of the radio-far infrared correlation in galaxies, the magnetic field and diffusion of cosmic rays in nearby galaxies, radio continuum and neutral hydrogen studies of dwarf galaxies and compact galaxy groups, as well as studies of the disk-halo connection in galaxies.
