Description

The many lives and deaths of high redshift massive quiescent galaxies. This Fellowship will investigate the recent discovery of very massive, extremely early forming quiescent galaxies and explain their exceptional origin, death, and ultimate place in the local Universe. It is a multidisciplinary project that seeks to produce new knowledge using high-performance computing, software engineering, and sophisticated data analysis techniques. Expected outcomes include novel and improved supercomputer simulations of several billions of galaxies processed through a virtual observatory, providing tools and fundamental knowledge for observational, theoretical, and computational astrophysics..
