Understanding Our Galactic Ecosystem: From The Disk Of The Milky Way To The Formation Sites Of Stars And Planets
Understanding Our Galactic Ecosystemthe Eu-Funded Ecogal Project Brings Together Research Groups From Germany, France, And Italy, Working In The Fields Of Observational Astronomy, Numerical Astrophysics, Instrument Development And Astroinformatics. Combining High-Resolution Multi-Wavelengths Astronomical Observation With Multi-Scale Computer Simulations, They Will Develop A Unifying Predictive Model For The Formation Of Stars And Planets In Our Milky Way. Their Primary Goal Is To Develop A Comprehensive Understanding Of The Galaxy As One Complex ‘Ecosystem’, Governed By A Multitude Of Feedback Loops That Drive Its Dynamical Evolution. This Represents A Paradigm Shift In Astronomy And Astrophysics, Where Models That Treat The Constituents Of The Galaxy In Equilibrium And Consider The Various Scales In Isolation Have Reached Clear Limits. The Ecogal Team Will Identify The Initial And Boundary Conditions For Structure Formation Across All Relevant Scales And Create A Complete Inventory Of The Conditions Conducive To The Birth Of Stars And Planets In Our Cosmic Home, The Milky Way.
