A theoretical understanding of galaxy assembly and black hole evolution across cosmic time

这项研究将使澳大利亚成为尖端星系形成模型的中心。为了实现其科学目标，我们将公开世界上最大的暗物质和星系演化的宇宙学模拟。我们将设计和部署一个在线门户网站，在其中，社区中的任何人都可以为自己的工作构建自定义星系形成模型。在澳大利亚需要增加理论基础设施以充分利用澳大利亚重大观测投资的时候，对这一提议的支持将加强澳大利亚的理论天文学。

This research will establish Australia as a centre for cutting edge galaxy formation modelling. To achieve its science goals, we will make publicly available the world's largest cosmological simulation of dark matter and galaxy evolution. We will design and deploy an online web portal within which custom galaxy formation models can be constructed by anyone in the community for their own work. Support for this proposal will strengthen theoretical astronomy in Australia at a time when increased theoretical infrastructure is needed to fully capitalise on Australia's significant observational investments.
