RELINQUISHED - The Cosmic Distribution of Metals

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    The project aims to understand how the elements forged in stars flow through space and find their way into new stars and planets, using a combination of hydrodynamic simulations and machine learning based on innovative numerical techniques. The history of these elements, and how they came to be in planets like ours, is one of the most basic questions remaining in astrophysics. The expected outcome is to provide a model for the history of the elements that can both stand on its own and provide a theoretical basis and a vital set of statistical tools to interpret the flood of data that will arrive from Australian and international telescopes over the next five years. The end results will be new and deeper insight into our cosmic origins.
