This $391,640 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support research conducted by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to develop advanced galaxy prediction models for the faint and low surface brightness universe. The key focus areas include: Generating predictions for the number, stellar/luminosity function, sizes, and radial distribution of satellite galaxies...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a three-year, $127,611 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds collaborative research to explore galaxy growth in diverse cosmic environments at redshift 2.5 using Lyman-alpha tomography. This technique maps the distribution of neutral hydrogen gas across large areas of the early universe to study how...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $329,659 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on the formation of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The research aims to understand the physics behind the transition from early, non-disk galaxies to the disk-shaped galaxies we observe today, including the roles of galaxy potentials, interstellar medium evolution, and other...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $242,456 Project Grant to the University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) to study ultrafaint dwarf galaxies and develop a mentorship education curriculum. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include: Analyzing existing spectroscopic data from five ultrafaint dwarf galaxies to measure metallicities and chemical abundances,...
This three-year, $357,003 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support continued investigations of nearby dwarf galaxies as well as expanded studies of dwarf galaxies in galaxy groups within a radius of five million parsecs. Key deliverables include mapping dark matter halos within Milky Way satellites via multi-epoch spectroscopy; analyzing detailed chemical abundance patterns at low metallicities characteristic of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to reconstruct primordial density fluctuations using near-field cosmology.
