Illuminating Magnetic Fields as the Scaffold of Gas in Galaxies

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    This program aims to reveal how gas and magnetic fields interact to set the fate of galaxies. The question of howgalaxies evolve is one of the most fundamental in all of astronomy. Magnetism, alongside gravity, is one of themost influential forces in determining the evolution of galaxies, and yet one of the least understood. Using theFellow's expertise and Australia's newest radio telescope, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder, thisprogram will explore the inner workings of our own Milky Way and its galactic neighbours, the Magellanic Clouds.Using new observations and a new international research network, this program expects to position Australia atthe centre of international efforts to understand how galaxies work.
