Funded Activity Summary

How do galaxies get their gas? This project aims to build new understanding about the fundamental physics behind how galaxies get their gas. The way gas is accreted in galaxies affects how stars are made and what galaxies look like, including our own milky way. This project expects to build a new robotic instrument for three dimensional spectroscopy of galaxies, called Hector-I, to establish and run the Hector Galaxy Survey, the largest of its kind ever conducted. This survey data set will underpin broad investigations of gas accretion and the impact on the physical properties of galaxies. The project will clarify why our own galaxy looks so different to others, demonstrate Australian technologies for future commercialisation on international facilities, and train students for a high quality workforce.
