Spectro-Mapping Of The Circumgalactic Medium Across Cosmic Times
Observing Gas Flows Around Galaxies And How They Shape Galaxy Evolutiongalaxies Are Systems Of Billions Of Stars, Gas, And Dust, All Held Together By Gravity. Due To The Mutual Interactions Between These Components, The Internal Structure Of A Galaxy Changes Over Time. An Essential Actor In These Transformations Is The Circumgalactic Medium (Cgm), A Huge Dynamic Reservoir Of Gas. Matter Flows From The Cgm Into The Galaxy To Form New Stars, But It Also Gets Driven Out By Explosions Inside The Galaxy. The Eu-Funded Specmap-Cgm Project Will Use Two Uniquely Sensitive Instruments At Leading Observatories And Exploit Novel Detection Methods To Spectroscopically Map Hundreds Of Galaxies At Once, Detect The Faint Emission From The Cgm, And Thus Constrain The Complex Processes That Shape Galaxy Evolution.
