Funded Activity Summary

The Formation of the Most Massive Galaxies in the Universe. This program aims to solve the mystery of how the most massive galaxies in the Universe formed. We will employ one of the world's most powerful telescopes, and the observations will be compared with cosmological simulations by a supercomputer. A state-of-art technique will be used to analyse the galaxy dynamics, allowing the distribution of the mysterious Dark Matter to be probed. The results will be the deepest and most detailed studies of this kind to date, with wide-ranging implications for our current paradigm of galaxy formation and evolution.
