Gas flows in and out of galaxies: solving the cosmic baryon cycle
Galaxy formation is driven by the flows of gas in and out of galaxies, which remain poorly understood. Galaxies grow and fuel their star formation through the accretion of new gas, while stellar and AGN activities eject copious amount of gas into the environment. The physics of and interplay between these phenomena (cosmic baryon cycle) are extremely complex, with the consequence that our current understanding of how and when gas flows take place and their impact on the life-cycle of galaxies is still patchy. Hence, the FLOWS ERC project is designed to precisely determine the properties of gas flows in and out of galaxies across cosmic time and explain their role in galaxy formation and…
