Funded Activity Summary

Modelling the chemical enrichment of the Milky Way. This project aims to understand the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy from its birth to the present. Astrophysicists try to understand the production of the elements over cosmic time, using telescopes and satellites costing billions of dollars. This project will calculate the evolutionary history and detailed nuclear processes in stars of all masses and compositions. When coupled with dynamical models for stars in the Milky Way, this project will categorise how the composition changes with time, thus extracting the maximum understanding from the wealth of data to be delivered in the next few years.
