- Astronomy Colloquium
- Galaxy Clusters in the Distant Universe
- Time: 3:30 pm
- Place: 4421 Sterling Hall
- Speaker: Kim-Vy Tran, Texas A&M University
- Abstract: Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound systems in the<br>
universe and are extreme laboratories for studying the physics driving<br>
galaxy evolution as well as powerful tests of cosmology.<br>
Understanding how galaxies form and evolve in clusters continues to be<br>
a fundamental question in astronomy. I present results from an<br>
ongoing multi-wavelength study of galaxies in clusters at z>1.5 to<br>
track how they assemble their stars. - Host: Prof Christy Tremonti
