The first two billion years: the structural, chemical and thermal evolution of the intergalactic medium

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This Discovery Project will aid the development of world class observational programmes within Australia. The Murchison Widefield Array and Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder, both projects which are heavily involved in intergalactic medium science, are the focus of international collaboration and funding which benefits the Australian scientific community. This proposal will provide a theoretical complement to these endeavours. Furthermore, the research is expected to involve at least one Ph.D. student and two honours students. The students will obtain highly transferable numerical modelling skills which are widely applicable in commerce and industry.
