Undergraduate Bursary: Star Formation Quenching Efficiency in Filaments of Galaxies Jul 1, 2018 - Sep 30, 2018
Galaxy evolution is typically studied in discrete environments – usually within galaxy clusters or groups where the galaxy-galaxy interaction rate is high, in voids where the galaxies are largely unaffected by others of their ilk, or within the conte...
