How dark matter influences the formation and evolution of galaxies is to this day an outstanding question in astrophysics. To answer it, world-class facilities and a unique combination of observations and theory are required. This DP team, a world-class team of observers and theorists, will tackle this question by leveraging on two multi-million dollar projects: the MAGPI galaxy survey and the hydrodynamical simulations suite EAGLE-XL. MAGPI will deliver exquisite kinematics for hundreds of galaxies in the middle ages of the Universe, providing a view to the effect of dark matter on galaxies at this critical time, while EAGLE-XL represents the technological frontier in simulations and provides the best interpretative framework for MAGPI.

暗物质如何影响星系的形成和演化至今仍是天体物理学中的一个突出问题。为了回答这个问题，需要世界一流的设施以及观察和理论的独特结合。这个 DP 团队是一个由观察者和理论家组成的世界级团队，他们将利用两个耗资数百万美元的项目来解决这个问题：MAGPI 星系调查和流体动力学模拟套件 EAGLE-XL。 MAGPI 将为宇宙中世纪的数百个星系提供精致的运动学，提供在这个关键时刻暗物质对星系影响的视图，而 EAGLE-XL 则代表了模拟的技术前沿，并提供了最佳的解释框架玛格皮。
