About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $223,101.00 grant to the University of Texas at Austin to construct the most accurate set of galaxy ultraviolet (UV) luminosity functions over a large redshift range. The university will use Spitzer infrared data to minimize contamination and improve photometric redshift precision, applying a uniform set of selection criteria across datasets spanning a wide area. This research aims to provide robust constraints on the abundance of bright star-forming galaxies in the early universe. The University of Texas System, as the parent organization, has also supported federal research grants in areas like neurodegenerative diseases, energy systems, and cancer. No set-aside designation was mentioned for this specific award.
Description
We propose to construct the most accurate set of galaxy ultraviolet (UV) luminosity functions yet assembled over the redshift range 44X larger than the previous largest sample of galaxies in this epoch selected with multi-wavelength data). In an advance over previous studies, we will select samples of galaxies including spitzer infrared array camera (irac) mid-infrared imaging data, which are crucial to both minimize contamination and to improve the precision of photometric redshifts. Additionally, we will be the first to apply a uniform set of selection criteria simultaneously to datasets spanning an order of magnitude in dynamic range of area covered, allowing the construction of high-redshift UV luminosity functions spanning nearly 10 astronomical magnitudes. We will use this dataset to accomplish the following science goals: 1) we will provide the most robust constraints on the abundance of bright star-forming galaxies in the epoch 4
