This award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $596,139 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the co-evolution of galaxies and their satellite populations. The team will leverage their expertise in modeling sub-halo dynamics and the flow of mass, energy, and metals between galaxies and the surrounding circumgalactic medium to create high-resolution simulations. These simulations will explore the dominant physical processes shaping satellite populations in a range of galactic environments, advancing the understanding of how baryonic physics associated with the host galaxy and its large-scale environment impact satellite evolution. The project will also provide mentoring and support for graduate students, including those from underrepresented backgrounds in the New York City area. This award will run from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026.
