Multi-Wavelength Studies of the Galaxy Formation with GCD+

We present our recent studies of galactic chemodynamics with our original galactic chemo-dynamical evolution code, GCD+ (Kawata & Gibson 2003). First, we demonstrate that the self-regulated AGN heating is crucial to explain the multi-wavelength properties of observed elliptical galaxies (Kawata & Gibson 2005, MNRAS, 358, 16). Next, a thick disk formation senario suggested by our numerical simulations (Brook et al. 2004, ApJ, 612, 894) is explained. Finally, we introduce our dwarf spheroidal galaxy formation study (Kawata et al. astro-ph/0509402).
