This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Drexel University to measure the mass distribution of dark matter in the universe. The $359,436 award, active from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, will enable the research team to analyze distortions in the shapes of approximately 100 million galaxies observed through the Dark Energy Survey. By interpreting these "cosmic flexion"...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $260,250 funds research to quantify the systematic errors in measurements of dark matter mass in dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way. The research aims to understand the amount of dark matter in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the largest of the small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, and determine how well dark matter can be measured in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,000 in funding to the University of Texas at Austin over 3 years, from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award will support research to study the nature of dark matter, which accounts for 85% of all matter in the known universe. The research aims to better understand the microscopic properties of dark matter and its gravitational effects on...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $202,576 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, doing business as Princeton University, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports a collaborative research effort to study how to indirectly test and constrain the properties of dark matter through observations of individual galaxies. Key deliverables include: 1) new, publicly available software modules...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $150,000 over 3 years to Lafayette College to conduct research on the origin and properties of dark matter in the universe, as well as investigate possible deviations from the canonical history of the universe's evolution. The research aims to develop novel methods for probing the dark sector and distinguishing between possible...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $438,078 Project Grant to New York University (NYU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the development of a new statistical method to quantify the relationship between dark matter and the observable galaxies in the universe. The researchers will apply this technique to analyze data from the Bright Galaxy Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)....
This $160,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support the Arizona State University (ASU) research team's efforts to directly detect dark matter particles. The research aims to develop a new system designed to detect ultra-low mass dark matter by examining how it interacts with nuclear spins. The team plans to achieve a 30-fold improvement in energy sensitivity over current methods, using techniques...
This $135,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds research at the University of New Mexico to probe early cosmological history using dark matter. Professor Rouzbeh Allahverdi will build new particle physics models of dark matter, study dark matter production in alternative thermal histories before one second after the Big Bang, and investigate novel predictions from different production mechanisms testable in...
