How galaxies lose their gas: jet-driven outflows in the distant universe

该项目旨在测量从星系中心的超大质量黑洞发射的强大射电喷流对其宿主星系的影响。了解星系如何演化仍然是天文学中一个关键的未解之谜。该项目将把射电喷流和星系中的冷气体之间的相互作用映射到比以往任何时候都更远的距离，揭示喷流如何在射电星系生命周期的关键时刻影响其环境。这些结果将挑战我们对星系在过去80亿年中如何演化的理解，并为未来星系演化的模拟提供急需的观测基础。

This project aims to make measurements of the impact that powerful radio jets, launched from supermassive black holes at the heart of galaxies, have on their host galaxy. Understanding how galaxies evolve remains a key unanswered question in astronomy. The project will map the interaction between radio jets and the cold gas in galaxies to further distances than ever before, shedding light on how jets impact their environment at a crucial point in the lifecycle of radio galaxies. These results will challenge our understanding of how galaxies have evolved over the past 8 billion years and provide a much-needed observational basis to inform future simulations of galaxy evolution.
