"Unraveling the Mysteries of Galactic Growth within the Cosmic Web"
Scientists from the University of Kansas are using computer simulations and observations to study how galaxies are affected as they move through the cosmic web, focusing on the impact of environmental factors on the transformation of galaxies. They aim to understand how the cosmic web's filamentary structures influence the evolution of galaxies and the baryon cycle, which affects star formation. The research also includes science outreach to high school students and is expected to provide insight into key science topics for the coming decade.
