The Structural and Physical properties of Galaxies over the past 10Gyears

物质是如何从13gyr以前的平滑分布转变为我们今天称之为星系的引力束缚的复杂系统的？这项合作拥有四个世界领先的数据集，其设施成本超过4000万美元。这些数据将使用新的计算算法（包括人工神经网络）进行分析，以确定星系的结构特性作为回望时间的函数。这将使束缚系统的质量和角动量历史可以追溯到第一批恒星形成的时代，并从经验上确定每种星系类型形成和演化的时间和机制。最终的同化目录将为未来的天文学家提供一份遗产资源。

How did matter transform itself from the smooth distribution of ~13Gyrs ago to the gravitationally-bound complex systems we call galaxies today. This collaboration has unique access to four world-leading datasets at a facility cost of over $40 million. These data will be analysed using novel computational algorithms (including Artifical Neural Networks) to ascertain the structural properties of galaxies as a function of look-back time. This will enable the mass and angular momentum history of bound-systems to be traced back to the epoch at which the first stars formed and to empirically establish when and by what mechanism each galaxy type formed and evolved. The final assimilated catalogue will provide a legacy resource for future astronomers.
