The National Science Foundation awarded a $273,175 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Magellanic Dwarfs as a Key Laboratory for Dwarf Galaxy Formation" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024.
The grant funding will support research collaborations examining dwarf galaxies in the Magellanic Clouds to advance understanding of dwarf galaxy evolution and formation. As the closest dwarf galaxy neighbors to the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds provide an exceptional laboratory for studying low-mass galaxy properties. The research findings will enhance scientific knowledge of major challenges in astrophysics, such as the mechanisms by which small galaxies form and interact with larger systems. The University of California, Davis will oversee research activities to be conducted at its Davis, California campus.
