Hierarchical Merging

Hierarchical Merging is a theoretical framework in astrophysics that explains galaxy formation and evolution through the progressive aggregation of smaller dark matter halos and their associated stellar systems, distinguished by its emphasis on the bottom-up growth of cosmic structures via gravitational interactions over cosmic time.
