About Us
The main aim of the project is to statistically investigate the attenuation of dust in galaxies and its dependence on the types of galaxies in different space ages. We will use a unique sample of one million galaxies observed in the infrared by the Herschel satellite. We plan to construct the correct attenuation curves for different types of galaxies and to examine how they have evolved over the past 10 billion years. This will lead to a re-evaluation of the basic physical properties of star-forming galaxies and will provide new tools to astronomers who occupy themselves with these fascinating objects.
