- This is a $400,105 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university, to conduct a detailed analysis of maps and power spectra from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and Planck missions. The research will focus on three key tasks: 1) developing a novel likelihood method to extract cosmological information while fully propagating foreground uncertainties in CMB polarization data, 2) exploring...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) to analyze data from the Planck and Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) missions and resolve discrepancies between their cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements. The $362,846.84 grant will fund research to: 1) quantify how Planck's CMB lensing data impacts cosmological parameter constraints compared to WMAP; 2) assess if WMAP's optical depth measurement is...
- This is a $449,092 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for a research project analyzing data from the Planck and WMAP missions to model and remove synchrotron and dust as cosmic microwave background (CMB) foregrounds. The work will address three key questions on the variation in CMB foregrounds and their impact on CMB measurements. This grant is not associated with a set-aside contract. The Johns Hopkins University is a...
- The Johns Hopkins University received a $463,699 grant award (22-ADAP22-0046) from a Civilian Shared Services Center to conduct focused reanalyses of temperature data from the Planck mission, enriching the cosmological legacy of this European Space Agency satellite observatory. The research grant, awarded on January 11, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of January 10, 2026, represents an open competition award with no set-aside designation. The work will be performed at Johns Hopkins'...
- This is a $352,709 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago to utilize upcoming polarization data from the Planck spacecraft to reconstruct the earliest observable epochs of cosmic inflation in a model-independent fashion. The research aims to improve our understanding of the dynamics at the beginning of the observable universe through advanced techniques that go beyond standard approximations. This grant supports NASA's investment in...
- This is a $423,736.83 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) for research on modeling and characterizing the impact of foreground contamination on measurements of B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The goal is to improve the reliability of detecting the B-mode signal, which could provide insights into the physics of cosmic inflation, a key objective for CMB science. The research involves creating...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0445, is a $412,970 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is focused on studying the essential information contained in the polarization signals of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), which may hold evidence of primordial gravitational waves produced during the inflationary period of the early...
- This is a $457,413.08 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will fund the development of new numerical techniques to improve the statistical power and sampling of "clustering redshifts" - a technique that allows the estimation of cosmological redshifts without detailed spectral data. This research will enable the creation of redshift catalogs for a broad range of NASA datasets, including WISE,...
- This is a $400,301.96 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to measure the properties of interstellar dust using a holistic approach that incorporates data from various NASA-supported missions and other complementary facilities. The planned analysis involves jointly modeling the dust extinction curve and stellar parameters, comparing extinction measurements to diffuse interstellar bands, extending the analysis to stars with...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $670,152.05 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research related to understanding the origin of primordial density fluctuations in the early universe and the detection of primordial gravitational waves through cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. The research aims to provide insights into the physics underlying the properties of polarized dust emission observed by the Planck satellite...
