Funded Activity Summary
Seeing Dark with Light: Revealing the Milky Way with Stellar Streams. This project aims to reveal the dark matter that envelops the Milky Way, deconstructing its mass through observations of cannibalised smaller galaxies. Uniting ground- and space-based observations, this project expects to uncover the detailed size and shape of the Galaxy's dark matter halo through dynamical modelling of dwarf galaxies as they are disrupted by Galactic tidal forces. As well as determining this dominant mass, the expected outcomes of this project include a unique snapshot of the evolution of our Milky Way. Leveraging major international collaborations and producing high-impact scientific results, this project will address the primal question of origins, yielding important societal and cultural benefits.Funded Activity Details
