Formation and evolution of galaxies in the Local Group

该项目将在这方面做出重大贡献。 解决基本问题的澳大利亚数值天体物理学 星系形成和演化的领域。它将解决问题 与我们的存在有关的东西，通过试图理解 我们银河系的形成及其所在的本地域群 住在那里。它将通过将重点放在数据上，为该国在光学/射电望远镜设施上的大笔投资增加价值 从这些望远镜获得的。动画制作自 项目的模拟提供了一种清晰和图形化的方式来传达 研究结果向公众公布，因而令人兴奋和具有教育意义 他们对天文学这一重要领域的了解。

This project will represent a significant contribution in the context of Australian numerical astrophysics tackling fundamental questions in the field of galaxy formation and evolution. It will address questions that relate to our very existence, through trying to understand the formation of our Milky Way galaxy and the Local Group in which it resides. It will `value add' to the large investment made in optical/radio telescope facilities in this country, by focussing on data obtained from these telescopes. The animations produced from the project's simulations provide a clear and graphic way of conveying the results of the study to the public, and hence exciting and educating them about this important area of astronomy.
