Abstract: | Relic galaxies are time capsules with unique information about the physical conditions of the early Universe. In this presentation, I will discuss current efforts to identify these kind of objects in the nearby Universe and what we have learned from them. In particular, I will concentrate on the massive relic galaxies; objects with several times the mass of the Milky Way, that were formed 11 billion years ago and has remained untouched since their original assembly. |
