TITLE:    Bridging the divide:  A multi-scale approach to Galaxy 
formation


ABSTRACT:

Galaxies lie at the nexus of modern astrophysical pursuits. They are an 
essential cosmological probe, and set the environment in which stars 
form and compact objects merge. As such, galaxies are crucial to all of 
astrophysics, and yet our grasp of how they evolve is incomplete. The 
key lies in understanding the complicated balance between inflows and 
outflows that shape galaxies and regulate the amount of fuel available 
for star formation and black hole growth. Understanding these galactic 
gas flows has, to date, been inhibited by the seemingly insurmountable 
range of spatial and temporal scales inherent to the governing 
processes. I will describe our efforts to bridge this vast range of 
scales and illuminate the principles underlying galaxy formation. I will 
cover how micro-scale (~sub-pc) processes, such as turbulent mixing and 
radiative cooling, connect with meso-scale (~kpc) processes, such as 
supernova-driven galactic winds, and how—when combined using a novel 
cosmological multi-scale model that we call Arkenstone—they shape the 
macro-scale (~Mpc) galactic properties and dynamics. Taken together, 
these efforts aim to usher in a new era of truly predictive galaxy 
modeling.
