CAREER: The Formation Epoch of Massive Galaxies

职业生涯：大规模银河系的形成时期0449678 Pieter货车Dokdoung Dr.耶鲁大学的Pieter货车Dokkum将开展一项计划，提供早期宇宙中大质量星系数量的信息，最终目标是限制星系形成的理论。他将确定一群高红移星系的数量密度、聚集特性和物理特性，这些星系的颜色与附近的星系相似，这表明了一种可能的进化联系。 通过这项工作，货车Dokkum博士将调查大质量星系是否在宇宙约20亿岁时组装，或者它们是否像许多理论预测的那样由小型子结构组成。沿着本科生，研究生和博士后人员参与研究，与职业相关的教育计划将建立在耶鲁皮博迪自然历史博物馆的科学教育和公众宣传（EPO）计划的基础上。 货车Dokkum博士将增加天文EPO编程，并与西班牙裔和拉丁裔社区建立双语关系。

CAREER: THE FORMATION EPOCH OF MASSIVE GALAXIESABSTRACTAST 0449678 Pieter van DokkumDr. Pieter van Dokkum, at Yale University, will undertake a program to provide information on the number of massive galaxies in the early universe, with an ultimate goal of constraining theories for galaxy formation. He will determine the number density, clustering properties, and physical properties of a population of high redshift galaxies with colors that are similar to nearby ones, suggesting a possible evolutionary connection. With this work, Dr. van Dokkum will investigate whether massive galaxies were assembled when the universe was ~2 billion years old, or if they consisted instead of small substructures, as predicted by many theories.Along with involving undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral personnel in the research, the CAREER related educational plan will build upon the science education and public outreach (EPO) program of the Yale Peabody Museum for Natural History. Dr. van Dokkum will add astronomy EPO programming, and build bilingual relations with the Hispanic and Latino communities.
