Galaxy interactions in groups and clusters behind the Magellanic Clouds

这项研究项目的目的是，首先确定麦哲伦星云背后的星系群和星团，然后描述星系之间的相互作用及其对星系形态、恒星形成率和核活动的影响，作为环境和红移的函数。两种主要类型的相互作用将构成本评估的一部分：银河-银河和银河-ICM(星系团内介质)。分析将基于最近完成的多波长成像调查和相关来源目录，以及自动化和/或机器学习算法的应用。将设计后续观察方案，以测试方法和获得详细的见解。

This research project aims to, first, identify groups and clusters of galaxies behind the Magellanic Clouds and, then, characterise galaxy interactions and their effects on the galaxies' morphology, star formation rate and nuclear activity as a function of environment and redshift. Two main types of interaction will form part of this assessment: galaxy-galaxy and galaxy-ICM (Intra-Cluster Medium). The analysis will be based on recently completed multi-wavelength imaging surveys and associated source catalogues, and the application of automated and/or machine learning algorithms. Followup observational programmes will be designed in order to test methodologies and gain detailed insight.
