Island Universes
Abstract
This has been an exciting conference covering a large range of topics on the properties of disk galaxies, much of it related to pioneering work done by Piet van der Kruit, the Jacobus C. Kapteyn Distinguished Professor of Astronomy at the University of Groningen. Let me therefore first say a few words about Piet, and then highlight some of the mainresults presented here this week.
