The University of Illinois was awarded a $402,181 project grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences to conduct research related to varstrometry for off-nucleus and dual (sub)kpc active galactic nuclei. The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 with a completion date of July 31, 2024. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Funding will support research using varstrometry techniques to study the properties and evolution of active galactic nuclei located outside galactic nuclei or with dual structures within approximately one kiloparsec. Outcomes will further scientific understanding of the formation and fueling of supermassive black holes and active galactic nuclei.
