Time: 11:30-12:30 pm
Location: PSC 1136
Speaker: Adam Stevens (UWA)
Title: "Towards a convergent theory of galaxy evolution across environments"

After decades of hype and advancement, galaxy evolution remains one of the forefront research fields of astrophysics. The ultimate challenge lies in developing a theoretical framework that not only covers the vast breadth of astrophysical processes that affect galaxies’ formation and evolution, but also predicts and explains the enormous and ever-growing wealth of multi-wavelength observational data we possess. In this talk, I will discuss how we test the outcome of modern galaxy formation models and cosmological simulations against low-redshift galaxy surveys. In particular, I will highlight research into the influence of galaxy environment on the acquisition and expulsion of galaxies’ gas. With simulation suites like IllustrisTNG, and radio surveys like VERTICO and WALLABY, we are riding a new frontier of insight into the gas flows of galaxies in dense environments.
