Mapping Galaxy Transformation with the MAGPI Survey
No. 192 (March 2024), 11–15
The Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with IFS (MAGPI) survey is an ongoing ESO Large Programme combining medium-deep Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations and an extensive library of simulated data to understand galaxy assembly over the past four billion years of cosmic time. Thanks to the combination of MUSE and the GALACSI adaptive optics system, MAGPI is delivering spatially resolved kinematic, star formation, and stellar population maps for hundreds of galaxies at intermediate redshift. By targeting galaxies across a range of environments, MAGPI will provide a unique perspective on the physical mechanisms responsible for transforming galaxy morphologies and kinematics at late cosmic times.
