Summary
In our universe, galaxies typically have neighboring galaxies and close companions. A galaxy’s local environment plays a key role in shaping both its history and its future evolution. However, measuring a galaxy’s environment is often challenging and requires advanced astronomical observations. This project is part of a new phase of research based on large-scale observational efforts, such as the NSF/DOE Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). By combining large amounts of data from different telescopes, this project will identify key relationships between galaxies and their environment
