Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Saint Mary's University
$150,000.00
Canada Research Chair in Astronomy
FY 2023-24
Summary
Galaxies are cosmic factories for producing starlight and complex chemical elements;
they are also excellent probes of the Universe over a large time-span of cosmic
history. Using privileged access to very large statistical datasets (Subaru HSC Survey
and its CFHT counterpart), and Hubble¿s successor, the James Webb Space
Telescope (including Guaranteed Time Observations), this research program will
investigate how galaxies form and evolve over cosmic time from the first luminous
objects to have formed soon after the big bang to the grand structures we see around
us in the local Universe.
