Abstract:

This lecture will be a travel through diverse and beautiful world of 

galaxies presenting the introduction to extragalactic astronomy. We will 

introduce ourselves with different types of galaxies, their main 

properties and how do we measure them in astronomy, and with some of the 

main galaxy activities related with interactions and mergers, nuclear 

activity in galaxies, star formation, and galaxy groups and clusters. We 

will see an amazing progress that has been done over the past years 

thanks to development of multiwavelength astronomy, from gamma- and 

X-rays to radio, and some of the still open questions. Finally, we will 

briefly raise the importance of extragalactic astronomy research, how it 

can benefit our society even when studying the most distant sources in 

the Universe.
