CAREER: The Formation Epoch of Massive Galaxies

职业：大质量星系的形成时代[j] .彼得·范·多克姆。耶鲁大学的彼得·范·多库姆（Pieter van Dokkum）将承担一个项目，提供早期宇宙中大质量星系数量的信息，其最终目标是限制星系形成的理论。他将确定一群颜色与附近星系相似的高红移星系的数量密度、群集特性和物理特性，从而提出一种可能的进化联系。通过这项工作，van Dokkum博士将研究大质量星系是否在宇宙20亿年前形成，或者它们是否像许多理论预测的那样由小的子结构组成。除了本科生、研究生和博士后参与研究外，与职业相关的教育计划将以耶鲁皮博迪自然历史博物馆的科学教育和公众宣传（EPO）计划为基础。van Dokkum博士将增加EPO天文学规划，并与西班牙裔和拉丁裔社区建立双语关系。

CAREER: THE FORMATION EPOCH OF MASSIVE GALAXIESABSTRACTAST 0449678 Pieter van DokkumDr. Pieter van Dokkum, at Yale University, will undertake a program to provide information on the number of massive galaxies in the early universe, with an ultimate goal of constraining theories for galaxy formation. He will determine the number density, clustering properties, and physical properties of a population of high redshift galaxies with colors that are similar to nearby ones, suggesting a possible evolutionary connection. With this work, Dr. van Dokkum will investigate whether massive galaxies were assembled when the universe was ~2 billion years old, or if they consisted instead of small substructures, as predicted by many theories.Along with involving undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral personnel in the research, the CAREER related educational plan will build upon the science education and public outreach (EPO) program of the Yale Peabody Museum for Natural History. Dr. van Dokkum will add astronomy EPO programming, and build bilingual relations with the Hispanic and Latino communities.
