A UVIT and Multi-wavelength Study of Several Giant Galaxies in the Nearby Universe

FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-22

Summary
This project will support the reduction, calibration, and analysis of imaging data of several nearby giant galaxies from the UVIT instrument aboard the AstroSat space telescope. These data will be analyzed to study the properties of the giant galaxies and their related satellite systems including dwarf galaxies and globular cluster systems. These galaxies are selected to cover a range of local galactic densities so that star formation rates and histories can be studied in the context of local galactic environments. The results will complement related ground-based observations to provide a truly unique and valuable science opportunity.

Description (French)
Ce projet soutiendra la réduction, l'étalonnage et l'analyse des données d'imagerie de plusieurs galaxies géantes proches provenant de l'instrument UVIT à bord du télescope spatial AstroSat. Ces données seront analysées pour étudier les propriétés des galaxies géantes et de leurs systèmes satellites associés, notamment les galaxies naines et les systèmes d'amas globulaires. Ces galaxies sont sélectionnées pour couvrir une gamme de densités galactiques locales afin que les taux de formation d'étoiles et leurs histoires puissent être étudiés dans le contexte des environnements galactiques locaux. Les résultats viendront compléter les observations au sol associées pour offrir une opportunité scientifique véritablement unique et précieuse.
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.
Expected Results (French)
Le volet Recherche du programme offre aux organisations une aide financière qui leur permettra de mener leurs activités de recherche et développement spatiales dans des secteurs prioritaires. Ce volet appuiera le développement des connaissances et l’innovation dans les domaines ciblés de manière à soutenir et à accroître la capacité du Canada d’utiliser l’espace pour répondre aux besoins et aux priorités du pays dans le futur.
