Funded Activity Summary
Exploiting the discovery of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies in the southern hemisphere sky. The scientific exploitation of newly discovered southern hemisphere ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxies will make Australia a leader in this rapidly developing research field. It will be enabled by access to national and international telescope facilities such as the Anglo- Australian Telescope (AAT), Gemini and Magellan, and by access to national computing resources for theoretical simulations. National benefit will also flow from collaborations between the team and its Super Science Fellows and researchers at overseas institutions. Results from the project will motivate research programs for the coming era of extremely large telescopes and will position the Fellows as potential future leaders in the exploiting the scientific potential of those facilities.Funded Activity Details
