Project Grant 2107990

The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $903,802 Project Grant to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Going Green at High Resolution - Spatially Deconstructing Environmental Quenching Over 9 Billion Years." Principal Investigators Rudnick and Wilson will investigate how star formation is suppressed in distant galaxy clusters using new analysis techniques on images from the Gemini...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $367,885 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct collaborative research on the physical properties of star-forming galaxies across cosmic time. The award, supported under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to establish a better understanding of how to translate the spectral emission lines of galaxies into their underlying physical...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $269,690 to support research and education activities under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). A collaboration between the University of Nevada, University of California Los Angeles, and Arizona State University will develop advanced galaxy modeling tools and conduct cross-correlation analyses to maximize scientific return from upcoming telescopes studying the epoch of...

This $539,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support research into the unexpectedly high number of bright, rapidly star-forming galaxies observed at the cosmic dawn. The award recipient, Princeton University, will conduct simulations and analytical modeling to understand the physical conditions that could explain these observations, particularly in the context of massive dark matter halos at high redshift. The research aims...

This $271,496 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research on dwarf galaxies over cosmic time. The University of Arizona will investigate dwarf galaxy populations within five million parsecs and halfway across the observable universe using wide-field, high-resolution multi-object spectrometers in both hemispheres. An integral field unit spectrograph constructed with prior NSF funding, IFUM, will obtain the first measurements of star formation rates, metallicity,...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $435,097 to support research analyzing spectra from lensed galaxies and developing public outreach materials. The award to North Carolina State University will fund analysis of new and archival spectra from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager and Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer instruments to develop spatially-resolved maps of galaxy circumgalactic media on kiloparsec scales. Principal investigators...

This three-year, $402,361 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the ODIN survey to advance understanding of galaxy evolution. Led by researchers at Purdue University with collaboration from Rutgers University, the ODIN survey will observe over 100,000 distant galaxies using the 4-meter Blanco telescope. Analyzing properties like mass, star formation rates, and clustering...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $512,912 to Arizona State University (ASU) supports a 3-year research program to study the evolution of galaxies in high-redshift clusters. The project will utilize deep observations from the Atacama Large Sub/Millimeter Array (ALMA), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and Very Large Telescope (VLT) to map star formation, measure baryon fractions, evaluate disk stability, and identify quenching...

This collaborative research project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), funds a three-year investigation into dark matter properties using globular clusters and stellar streams as observational tracers. Led by Northwestern University in collaboration with the University of North Carolina and the University of Pennsylvania, the project obligates $313,105 through August 31,...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $208,448 Project Grant to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to develop a software tool for modeling the rest-optical emission line spectra of distant galaxies dating back to the early universe, or "cosmic dawn". The award will support collaborative research by PIs Shapley and Sanders to analyze data from hundreds of galaxies observed roughly 10 billion years ago, when the universe was forming...
