The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $503,884 Project Grant to the Carnegie Institution Of Washington, doing business as Carnegie Institution For Science, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The goal of this 3-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, is to determine the composition of rocky material orbiting other stars by observing and modeling the dust in circumstellar disks. The project will leverage the new MAGAO-X...
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 three-year, $130,077 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund collaborative research to better understand galaxy cluster merger dynamics. The Smithsonian Institution Astrophysical Observatory will analyze observational data and hydrodynamical simulations of ten galaxy clusters to map the projected total mass density, intracluster medium emissivity and temperature,...
This $206,240 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research and educational activities to advance understanding of galaxy formation and evolution processes through multi-wavelength studies of circumgalactic media (CGM). Specifically, the University of Colorado researchers will (1) use machine learning to interpret new X-ray data in light of hydrodynamical simulations to constrain CGM physics, (2) explore using radio and fast radio...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded Columbia University a $483,459 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the "ILLUMINATING GALAXY FORMATION WITH THE ATACAMA COSMOLOGY TELESCOPE" research project. This three-year award, made on September 1, 2021 and concluding on August 31, 2024, will fund Columbia University's use of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope to advance understanding of major problems in...
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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $595,237 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to support continuing operations of two astronomical imagers for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. Under the award, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory will utilize two telescope-mounted digital cameras to provide observational data and imagery for scientific research projects in cosmology,...
This $498,213 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a research project at Cornell University to investigate the interplay between galactic winds and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding galaxies.
