Grant Activity:
Hot Fuzz: The evolution of satellite galaxies via mergers and stripping
Purpose:
In this project I will be uncovering the fate of satellite galaxies over cosmic time - a major question in astronomy. I will determine whether their mass is lost to direct mergers, or if their stellar material is spread about the dark matter halo they reside in. To tackle this project we will be using two main threads: observing how the occupation of satellite galaxies evolves over time by using data from two major Australian 3D galaxy surveys, and using analysis from the largest ever Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archival project to directly detect the faint fuzz of stellar material in these halos. Both these threads involve advanced computation, and will train the next generation of researchers in skills applicable in many domains.
