| Abstract | One of the most important problems in astrophysics today is understanding what physical processes occur in galaxies as they form and age. To resolve this problem, scientists are studying the low-density gas around galaxies, which is sometimes called a galaxy's atmosphere. New space telescopes are being designed to observe the faint light of these atmospheres. However, these efforts require theoretical models to help decipher what these observations mean. In this program, the investigators will w |
