项目摘要

This proposal seeks support to continue an extensive programme of research into extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology, by addressing some of the most pressing astrophysical questions of our time, such as:- What are the laws of physics operating in the early Universe?- How did the initial structure in the universe form?- How is the universe evolving and what roles do dark matter and dark energy play?- When and how were the first stars, black holes and galaxies born?- How do stars and galaxies evolve?To achieve these aims we will combine cutting-edge observations, numerical simulations, and statistical techniques. This proposal consists of 10 varied but interconnected projects, each involving one or more faculty members and researchers, that can be collected into three broad themes: Early and late universe cosmology; Galaxy simulation and modelling; Galaxy and cluster observations and analysis:Early and late universe cosmology: a series of projects will address theoretical predictions and observational constraints on inflation, dark energy and large scale structure. Our work encompasses both the development of theoretical frameworks and the analysis of cutting edge observational data-sets.Galaxy simulation and modelling: we will use Peta-scale computing facilities to carry out detailed studies of the formation and evolution of the first structures, and make statistical predictions that can be used in the exploitation of current and upcoming observational facilities such as James Webb Space Telescope, Euclid, LOFAR, and the Square Kilometre Array.Galaxy and cluster observations: we will make use of multi-wavelength observations to answer a variety of questions concerning the formation and evolution of galaxies. We will continue to exploit our involvement in the Dark Energy Survey, Euclid, the James Webb Space Telescope, the 4m Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) on VISTA, LOFAR, the Vera Rubin Observatory, and the XMM-Newton Cluster Survey. We also request support for an outreach project attached to Project 10.

该提议寻求支持，以继续进行广泛的研究范围内的天体物理学和宇宙学研究，通过解决我们时代中最紧迫的天体物理问题最紧迫的天体物理问题，例如： - 早期宇宙中物理的定律是什么？恒星和星系是否进化？为了实现这些目标，我们将结合尖端观察，数值模拟和统计技术。该提案包括10个不同但相互联系的项目，每个项目涉及一名或多个教职员工和研究人员，可以将其收集到三个广泛的主题中：早期和晚期宇宙宇宙学；星系模拟和建模；银河系和群集观测和分析：早期和晚期宇宙宇宙学：一系列项目将解决有关通货膨胀，暗能量和大规模结构的理论预测和观察性约束。我们的工作包括理论框架的发展和前沿观察数据集的分析。模拟和建模：我们将使用PETA尺度计算设施进行详细的研究，对第一结构的形成和演变进行详细的研究，并在当前和即将观察的统计设施中使用统计学预测，例如，观察到詹姆斯的启用，詹姆斯·詹姆斯的范围众所周知，平方公里阵列。galaxy和群集观测：我们将利用多波长观测值来回答有关星系形成和演变的各种问题。我们将继续利用我们参与黑暗能源调查，欧几里得，詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜，4m多对象光谱望远镜（4mast）在Vista，Lofar，Vera Rubin天文台和XMM-Newton Cluster上。我们还要求支持项目10附带的外展项目。
