This is a $144,962.07 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oregon to conduct research on the age and metallicity structure of early-type galaxies. The research will leverage data from three NASA astrophysics missions - GALEX, 2MASS, and Spitzer - to produce spatial maps revealing the star formation history of these galaxies. The project aims to resolve the paradox between ages produced by line indices work and integrated colors. This...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University, a private research university in Medford, Massachusetts. The grant, valued at $238,985.83, is part of NASA's Astrophysics Data Analysis Program and aims to study the physical properties and evolution of dusty, gas-rich galaxies during a key epoch of galaxy formation and supermassive black hole growth. The research project will use data from NASA's Spitzer and Herschel infrared space telescopes to constrain the redshift and luminosity evolution of infrared spectral energy distributions, investigate the role of active galactic nuclei, and understand the selection effects of various infrared-bright galaxy populations. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
