Mapping the Dark Matter With Early Type Galaxies
Grant number: LP130100286 | Funding period: 2014 - 2017
Completed
Abstract
Unidentified dark matter outweighs luminous matter (stars, gas, and galaxies) by several times and is detected by its gravitational effects in the Universe. The Six Degree Field Galaxy Survey is now complete and this project will prepare a larger survey, which will put the team clearly in the lead in understanding the distribution of dark matter.
