Stars and Galaxies: The chemical abundance breakthrough

测量星系的化学历史对于理解星系如何形成和演化至关重要。该计划旨在解决当前用于测量元素的新方法的缺点，该方法结合了观察和最先进的建模。预期的结果包括一个元素历史模型，作为导出新的、可靠的星系诊断的理论基础。这是一个巨大的好处，因为这个研究课题是下一代望远镜的主要科学驱动力，比如詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜和25米巨型麦哲伦望远镜。通过这个项目，澳大利亚的年轻人将接受科学和技术方面的培训，以领导未来开创性的天文学研究。

Measuring the chemical history of galaxies is critical to understand how galaxies form and evolve. This program aims to address shortcomings in current methods used to measure elements in a novel approach that combines observations and state-of-the-art modelling. Expected outcomes include a model for the history of the elements as the theoretical basis to derive new, robust galaxy diagnostics. There are tremendous benefits as this research topic is a major science driver for the next generation of telescopes, such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the 25m Giant Magellan Telescope. Through this project, young Australians will be trained in the science and technology required to lead the ground-breaking astronomy research of the future.
