DELIGHT: DELving into the MaGellanic Clouds HisToryMy PhD project, DELIGHT, aims to further understand the nature and composition of our closest interacting pair of galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds (MCs).
To this end, I am using data from the revolutionary deep DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey (DELVE) to study the stellar and chemical history of the MCs, comparing these observational results to in-house models available within the astrophysics group at Surrey, providing a holistic quantitative picture of the MCs satellite system. Ultimately, I plan to use this to place exciting new constraints on the nature of dark matter.
