Funded Activity Summary

Formation and evolution of galaxies in the Local Group. This project will represent a significant contribution in the context of Australian numerical astrophysics tackling fundamental questions in the field of galaxy formation and evolution. It will address questions that relate to our very existence, through trying to understand the formation of our Milky Way galaxy and the Local Group in which it resides. It will `value add' to the large investment made in optical/radio telescope facilities in this country, by focussing on data obtained from these telescopes. The animations produced from the project's simulations provide a clear and graphic way of conveying the results of the study to the public, and hence exciting and educating them about this important area of astronomy.
