Early stages of galaxy formation are thought to involve repeated cycles of merging sub-galactic building blocks, accompanied by tidally induced bursts of star formation. To test this scenario, this project uses JWST’s Integral Field Spectrograph to observationally and in detail examine an archetypical example of such a merging system that we discovered just one billion years after the Big Bang. With these data, the team will examine the conditions in this interacting galaxy pair, including the conditions in the interstellar gas in the system. The analysis of this data will shed new light on the early phases of the formation of galaxies like our own Milky Way.

This project aims to explore the mysteries of dark matter and galaxy formation using the Bullet Cluster as a cosmic laboratory. By leveraging gravitational lensing, this project will study how dark matter interacts and behaves, providing insights into whether cold dark matter or alternative theories, like self-interacting dark matter, better explain the universe's composition. The project combines data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and high-resolution weak lensing to accurately map the cluster's mass distribution. The second key goal focuses on newly discovered, highly magnified galaxies at high redshifts (z>5) to enhance our understanding of galaxy formation during the universe's early epochs.

This project will use the first James Webb Space Telescope images of the nearby planet Epsilon Eridani b, also known as Aegir, to determine its orbit and mass. This planet is anticipated to be quite similar to our solar system’s own planet Jupiter, and it orbits one of the closest sun-like stars just 10 light years away. Measuring its mass and orbit will allow us to learn more about how giant planets form and cool over billions of years, and ultimately end up like (or unlike) our own solar system’s Jupiter and Saturn.

The Lunar Vertex payload will be delivered to the Moon to study the Reiner Gamma lunar swirl, a bright, unusual marking, collocated with a magnetic anomaly, both of unknown origin. Our main objective is to characterize the composition and regolith properties at the Reiner Gamma swirl from the orbit to the ground, to better constrain its origin. The team will use the orbital remote sensing images and images acquired by a microscope on the rover to characterize the composition and texture of the regolith before and during the Lunar Vertex mission, as the rover drives across the swirl.
