The many lives and deaths of high redshift massive quiescent galaxies

该奖学金将调查最近发现的非常大的，非常早期形成的静止星系，并解释它们的特殊起源，死亡和最终在本地宇宙中的位置。这是一个多学科的项目，旨在利用高性能计算，软件工程和复杂的数据分析技术产生新的知识。预期成果包括通过虚拟天文台处理数十亿个星系的新型和改进的超级计算机模拟，为观测，理论和计算天体物理学提供工具和基础知识。

This Fellowship will investigate the recent discovery of very massive, extremely early forming quiescent galaxies and explain their exceptional origin, death, and ultimate place in the local Universe. It is a multidisciplinary project that seeks to produce new knowledge using high-performance computing, software engineering, and sophisticated data analysis techniques. Expected outcomes include novel and improved supercomputer simulations of several billions of galaxies processed through a virtual observatory, providing tools and fundamental knowledge for observational, theoretical, and computational astrophysics.
