42. By galaxy formation we understand the growth of density contrast until the moment when the galaxy separates from the general cosmological expansion of the universe. After that, its density rapidly grows by a factor of (Formula presented) and its subsequent evolution becomes much less sensitive to the value of (Formula presented)
