Galactic Origins: The Milky Way Globular Cluster - Halo Connection

我们世界级的国际团队将测量银河系光晕内古老星团和恒星流的运动和化学成分，以了解新发现的内部和外部成分及其形成方式。这些结果将激发公众对自然科学的兴趣。我们将使用世界上最大的望远镜，并参与到价值数百万美元的斯隆星系理解与演化扩展计划（SEGUE）中。我们将在前沿科学领域培养下一代研究人员，提高他们解决问题、项目管理和有效沟通的技能。

Our world-class international team will measure the motions and chemical compositions of ancient clusters and stellar streams within the halo of our Milky Way galaxy to understand the newly discovered inner and outer components and the manner in which they formed. These results will stimulate public interest in the natural sciences. We shall access the world's largest telescopes, and participate in SEGUE (Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Evolution) to a monetary value of several million dollars. We shall train the next generation of researchers in cutting-edge science, enhancing their skills in problem solving, project management and effective communication.
