Unveiling the galactic matter cycle through multiwavelength observations - From Stellar birth to Endpoint -
In order to understand star formation and evolution of galaxies, it is essential to elucidate the interstellar medium which fills the galaxies. I aim to reveal the mechanism by which the diffuse interstellar plasma governs the energy balance of galaxies. For this purpose, I intend to use observations of X-rays, radio, and optical-infrared emissions. These wavelengths are essential because the interstellar gas has a vast range of physical states characterized by a low temperature of -263 degrees Celsius to a very high temperature of ten million degrees Celsius, which can be probed only in the broad wavelength range. However, there has been limited interaction between different wavelengths due to significant differences in observable physical states and techniques. In this study, we aim to transcend the traditional boundaries of research based on observational wavelengths by establishing connections with cutting-edge research groups across various wavelengths and promoting international collaborative research. Through this effort, we aim to understand the energy and matter cycle of galaxies from star formation to stellar endpoint.
