Funded Activity 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 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.
