Formation and Evolution in the Extragalactic Universe
ARC Discovery Project 2002-2006
Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies, quasars and cluster of galaxies remains one of the key challenges in modern cosmology. This project brings together people with a broad range of skills to focus on specific aspects of this problem. Topics of investiagion include: how the gas and galaxies in clusters affect one another as they evolve; how quasars are formed and evolve; how ordinary and dark matter are distributed in galaxies and cluster; and when galaxies were formed.
