Dust and molecular gas play a strong role in the lives of galaxies, affecting star formation over cosmic time. At the same time, as the galaxies age, the properties of the molecular gas and dust change in response to the history of star formation within them. This project will simulate the formation, growth, and destruction of dust and gas in large cosmological simulations of the growth of galaxies. The simulations will be used to determine how observations and detection of gas and dust can be used to learn about the histories of galaxies.This project will used cosmological hydrodynamic galaxy evolution simulations to learn about the origin and evolution of the dust mass function in the redshift range z ~ 2-6. These simulations will incorporate a new self-consistent model of the formation, growth, and destruction of dust. These models will also include detailed chemistry, thermal physics, and radiative transfer that dictates the microphysics of molecular cloud evolution. The gas and dust models will also be included in the "grackle" code environment that can be used by many of the most common galaxy formation codes in use.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

尘埃和分子气体在星系的生命中扮演着重要的角色，影响着宇宙时间内星星的形成。与此同时，随着星系的老化，分子气体和尘埃的性质会随着星系内星星形成的历史而改变。该项目将在星系生长的大型宇宙学模拟中模拟尘埃和气体的形成、生长和破坏。该模拟将用于确定如何利用气体和尘埃的观测和探测来了解星系的历史，该项目将利用宇宙学流体动力学星系演化模拟来了解红移范围z ~ 2-6的尘埃质量函数的起源和演化。 这些模拟将纳入一个新的自洽模型的形成，增长和破坏的尘埃。这些模型还将包括详细的化学，热物理和辐射传输，决定了分子云演化的微观物理。气体和尘埃模型也将被包括在“grackle”代码环境中，该代码环境可用于许多最常见的星系形成代码。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
