Summary
Unveiling the Winds of Star-Forming Galaxies. This project seeks to resolve an outstanding problem in the formation of cosmic structure: what is the nature of galactic winds, and what physical mechanisms are responsible for driving them? Answering these questions requires computer simulations of greater resolution than have previously been possible, coupled to next-generation telescopic observations. This research aims to develop novel methods to enable the required simulations, leveraging new h ....Unveiling the Winds of Star-Forming Galaxies. This project seeks to resolve an outstanding problem in the formation of cosmic structure: what is the nature of galactic winds, and what physical mechanisms are responsible for driving them? Answering these questions requires computer simulations of greater resolution than have previously been possible, coupled to next-generation telescopic observations. This research aims to develop novel methods to enable the required simulations, leveraging new hardware architectures at Australian supercomputer facilities, and to use these approaches to solve a major open problem in astrophysics, open new frontiers in simulation, and multiply the return on Australia's investment in both computer facilities and telescopes that will study galactic winds.Read moreRead less
Star Formation Through Cosmic Time. This project aims to determine how turbulence and magnetic fields control the formation of stars. This is crucial to understand the formation of galaxies, planets and ultimately life. The expected outcomes are the most detailed simulations of star formation in the early Universe and in galaxies today. This project has the potential to transform our understanding of cosmic structure formation, providing crucial input for Australian and international facilities ....Star Formation Through Cosmic Time. This project aims to determine how turbulence and magnetic fields control the formation of stars. This is crucial to understand the formation of galaxies, planets and ultimately life. The expected outcomes are the most detailed simulations of star formation in the early Universe and in galaxies today. This project has the potential to transform our understanding of cosmic structure formation, providing crucial input for Australian and international facilities and surveys, and models of galaxy, star and planet formation. Training Australia's future generation of Big Data analysts, as well as the development of interdisciplinary tools involving Chemical Modelling, Plasma Physics, Statistics and High Performance Computing are key benefits.Read moreRead less
ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery. ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery. The mission of our Centre is to use gravitational waves to investigate the fundamental nature of relativistic gravity, ultra-dense matter, and cosmology. This will generate critical discoveries that cement Australia's leadership role in the gravitational wave mega-science instruments of the 2030s and 2040s.

The mission of our Centre is to use gravitational waves to investigate the fundamental nature of relativistic gravity, ultra-dense matter, and cosmology. This will generate critical discoveries that cement Australia's leadership role in the gravitational wave mega-science instruments of the 2030s and 2040s. By bringing together a world-class team with broad and complementary expertise we will develop core technologies for future detectors, discover new sources of gravitational waves, probe fundamental physics, and lay the foundations for an Australian gravitational wave observatory. Our discoveries will inspire Australia's youth to pursue high tech careers and position our staff and students to become leaders in both industry and academia.Read moreRead less
