Description

According to Lambda CDM paradigm of hierarchical galaxy formation, galactic disks were form gradually from inside to outside (“inside-out” scenario of galaxy formation). In spite of this being a long-known prediction, but very few observational evidences have been brought forward to support it. In order to sought the indication of this “inside-out” scenario in the local universe and also to test it, in this research the distribution of SFR and stellar mass of 118 local massive spiral galaxies (with log(M*)>10.5 located at 0.01
