Description
This grant will fund a project dedicated to UVIT imaging of a sample of nearby galaxies with the goal of measuring radiative heating and study how the absorbed light can disrupt star formation and even slow down or halt galaxy evolution.
Description (French)
Cette subvention financera un projet consacré à l'imagerie par UVIT d’un échantillon de galaxies proches dans le but de mesurer le chauffage radiatif et d'étudier comment la lumière absorbée peut perturber la formation d'étoiles et même ralentir ou arrêter l'évolution des galaxies.
Expected Results
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
