CAREER: Dark Matter and Black Holes Over Cosmic Time

职业生涯：宇宙时间中的暗物质和黑洞。Treu将使用创新的观测策略和分析技术来绘制球状体（即椭圆和透镜状星系以及螺旋星系的凸起）在宇宙时间内的内部结构演化，重点关注红移间隔z = 0-1，这是球状体经历实质性演化的时代。这项研究的重点是暗物质和黑洞。虽然最近的研究已经取得了进展，其恒星种群的演化，经验数据的恒星，暗晕和黑洞的共同演化需要了解在宇宙学背景下的球状体的形成。 根据该奖项进行的新观测将为下一代星系形成理论模型提供经验基准。 Treu博士还将致力于几个教育/公共宣传组件作为该奖项的一部分。 公众和K-12学生的努力，基于与自然历史的圣巴巴拉博物馆（SBMNH）和拉斯坎布雷斯天文台（LCOGT）的合作，将包括在博物馆礼堂的一系列公开讲座。 此外，LCOGT还向加州大学运营的塞奇威克自然保护区捐赠了一台32英寸的望远镜。Treu博士将与K-12教师和SBMNH合作，在塞奇威克建立天文学课程。 Treu博士正在与UCSB宗教研究（RS）和历史（H）部门合作开发一门名为“起源”的课程，该课程将围绕诸如“宇宙是由什么组成的？”".对于每个问题，学生将接触到科学家，哲学家，神学家所采用的不同方法，从而欣赏科学方法的本质和重要性。 该奖项由NSF天文科学部资助

CAREER: dark matter and black holes over cosmic timeAbstractAST-0642621PI: Tommaso TreuDr. Treu will use innovative observational strategies and analysis techniques to map the evolution of the internal structure of spheroids (i.e. elliptical and lenticular galaxies, and bulges of spiral galaxies) over cosmic time, with a focus on the redshift interval z = 0-1, an era when spheroids undergo substantial evolution. This research places its emphasis on dark matter and black holes. Whereas recent studies have made progress on the evolution of their stellar populations, empirical data on the co-evolution of stars, dark halos, and black holes are needed to understand the formation of spheroids in a cosmological context. The new observations made under this award will provide an empirical benchmark for the next generation of theoretical models of galaxy formation. Dr. Treu will also work on several educational/public outreach componentsas a part of this award. The general public and K-12 student efforts, based on a collaboration with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural history (SBMNH) and the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCOGT), will consist of a series of public lectures in the Museum auditorium. In addition, the LCOGT is donating a 32" telescope to the UC-operated Sedgwick Natural Reserve. Dr. Treu will work with K-12 teachers and the SBMNH to establish an astronomy curriculum at Sedgwick. At the undergraduate non-science major level, Dr. Treu is developing, in collaboration with the UCSB Religious Studies (RS) and History (H) departments, a course entitled "Origins", which will be organized around questions such as "What's the Universe made of?". For each question, students will be exposed to the distinct methodologies employed by scientists, philosophers, theologians, so as to appreciate the essence and the importance of the scientific method. This award is funded by the NSF Division of Astronomical Sciences
