Illuminating Magnetic Fields as the Scaffold of Gas in Galaxies

该计划旨在揭示气体和磁场如何相互作用以确定星系的命运。 星系如何演化的问题是所有天文学中最基本的问题之一。磁力与重力一起，是决定星系演化的最有影响力的力量之一，但也是人们最不了解的力量之一。利用该研究员的专门知识和澳大利亚最新的射电望远镜-澳大利亚平方公里阵列探路者，该方案将探索我们银河系及其邻近星系麦哲伦云的内部运作。利用新的观测和新的国际研究网络，该计划预计将澳大利亚定位在国际努力的中心，以了解星系如何运作。

This program aims to reveal how gas and magnetic fields interact to set the fate of galaxies. The question of how galaxies evolve is one of the most fundamental in all of astronomy. Magnetism, alongside gravity, is one of the most influential forces in determining the evolution of galaxies, and yet one of the least understood. Using the Fellow's expertise and Australia's newest radio telescope, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder, this program will explore the inner workings of our own Milky Way and its galactic neighbours, the Magellanic Clouds. Using new observations and a new international research network, this program expects to position Australia at the centre of international efforts to understand how galaxies work.
