This $460,835 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Columbia University, to conduct research on extracting higher-order statistics from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect maps and applying novel machine learning methods to analyze SZ data. The research aims to improve constraints on dark energy, neutrino mass, and other cosmological parameters by leveraging SZ data from...
This is a $647,520 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Columbia University, for a research project titled "REALIZING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF WEAK LENSING COSMOLOGY." The award has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation, indicating it was competed openly. Columbia University has a history of performing...
This federal contract award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University, has the goal of developing theoretical models and observational diagnostics to understand the emergence of the first generation of stars and supermassive black holes in the universe, as well as the physical feedback processes that determined their evolution and the early stages of cosmic reionization. The $411,804.76 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $217,332.00 grant to the University of Chicago for research and development of optical and optical coupling technologies for future satellite-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) missions. The research aims to develop anti-reflection coatings, filters, and feedhorns that will enable high-frequency, high-performance CMB measurements from 30-400 GHz to separate cosmological signals from foregrounds. The technologies being...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC22K1603, is a grant valued at $150,000.00 provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division. The grant supports the development of a CubeSat mission called DIFFUSAT, which will use an integral field spectrograph to map the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of nearby galaxies in ultraviolet light. This...
This federal contract award, valued at $163,831.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition based on...
