Galaxies are the factories of cosmic creation. This project will simulate the formation of galaxies using a supercomputer to understand how gas cycles in galaxies. The broader impacts of this work will be felt through the mentoring of early-career scientists in research and the wide dissemination of pedagogical videos. These videos will share the results of this research and the methods behind it. The circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding galaxies serves as their fuel tank, waste dump, and recycling center. Inspired by novel integral-field instruments, this project will compile a new public database of spatially-resolved CGM observations and build new simulations to address key problems in the formation of star-forming disks and galaxy quenching. This project has two key science goals: (1) to pin down the kinematics and metal content of CGM gas that may be accreting, escaping, or recycling as disks form and evolve, and (2) to characterize the abundance and kinematics of cold gas in the inner halos of passive galaxies as a constraint on quenching.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.

星系是宇宙创造的工厂。该项目将使用超级计算机模拟星系的形成，以了解星系中的气体循环。这项工作的更广泛影响将通过指导从事研究的早期职业科学家和广泛传播教学录像来体现。这些视频将分享这项研究的结果及其背后的方法。环绕星系的环星系介质（CGM）是它们的燃料箱，废物倾倒场和回收中心。受新型积分场仪器的启发，该项目将编制一个新的空间分辨CGM观测公共数据库，并建立新的模拟，以解决恒星形成盘和星系淬火形成中的关键问题。该项目有两个关键的科学目标：（1）确定CGM气体的运动学和金属含量，这些气体可能随着盘的形成和演化而增生、逃逸或再循环，以及（2）以表征被动星系内晕中冷气体的丰度和运动学，作为对淬火的限制。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
