We live in a hierarchically organized universe. Over the past two decades, observational evidence and theoretical predictions have converged on a remarkably successful cosmological model -- cold Dark Matter with a  Dark Energy component -- that describes the formation and evolution of structure at all scales through the gravitational amalgamation of matter. The backbone of this process is  well understood, but the physics on the scales of stars, galaxies and galaxy clusters is very complex and controlled by multiple variables.   This research program seeks to understand these processes and, in particular, the processes which formed galaxies like our own Milky Way.

我们生活在一个分层组织的宇宙中。在过去的二十年中，观察性证据和理论预测已通过非常成功的宇宙学模型（与暗能量成分的冷暗物质）进行了转换 - 描述了通过物质的重力合并在所有尺度上的形成和演变。该过程的骨干很明显，但是恒星，星系和星系簇的尺度上的物理非常复杂，并且由多个变量控制。该研究计划旨在了解这些过程，尤其是像我们自己的银河系一样形成星系的过程。
