The Life Cycle of Nearby Galaxies: internal and external processes regulating their gas content
Event Start:
2018-10-15T15:00:00
Event End:
2018-10-15T16:00:00
Event Information:
Every star in our Milky Way, and in all other galaxies, was born from the collapse of a cloud of hydrogen gas. The importance of cold gas in galaxy evolution is therefore well established, as is its role as a probe of recent environmental effects on galaxies. However, sensitivity limitations mean the extent to which internal and external processes drive variations in the gas-star formation cycle of galaxies remains unclear.
