Formation and Evolution in the Extragalactic Universe

Grant number: DP0208618

Abstract

Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies, quasars and clusters of galaxies remains one of the key challenges in modern cosmology. We will bring together a wide range of skills to focus on specific aspects of this problem. Major topics we will consider include: how the gas and galaxies in clusters affect one another as they evolve; how quasars are formed and evolve; how ordinary matter and dark matter are distributed in galaxies and clusters; and finally, when galaxies were formed.
