Galactic Outflows: Pushing the Distance Frontiers

这个项目旨在推动我们对银河系外流知识的前沿：一个塑造星系形成和演化的关键物理过程。利用包括新的、备受瞩目的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜在内的尖端设施，该项目预计将建立第一张关于遥远过去星系外流的整体图片，当时现代星系仍在形成中。预期的结果包括一个衡量外流特性的新框架，以及对远距离外流的物理学的新理解。这项研究预计将带来巨大的好处，加强澳大利亚与欧洲南方天文台价值1.22亿美元的合作伙伴关系的遗产，并将澳大利亚置于詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜革命的前沿。

This project aims to push the frontiers of our knowledge of galactic outflows: a key physical process shaping galaxy formation and evolution. Using cutting-edge facilities including the new, high-profile James Webb Space Telescope, this project expects to build the first holistic picture of outflows in the distant past, when present-day galaxies were still taking shape. Expected outcomes include a novel framework for measuring outflow properties, and new understanding of the physics of distant outflows. This research is expected to provide strong benefits by enhancing the legacy of Australia’s $122M partnership with the European Southern Observatory and placing Australia at the forefront of the James Webb Space Telescope revolution.
