Project Grant 2108338

This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $1,151,085 to Principal Investigator Cleary and California Institute of Technology to complete the Cosmic Mapping Array Pathfinder Survey. The project will use radio telescope line intensity mapping techniques to obtain low-resolution images summing the radio emission from carbon monoxide molecules in many galaxies during the epoch of galaxy assembly between...

This $1,192,635 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a collaborative research project titled "Cosmic Fizz - Constraining the CO x HI Cross Power Spectrum at the Epoch of Reionization." The research team from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), University of Miami, and University of Maryland will use a spectral line intensity...

This $509,534 National Science Foundation project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will develop new precision calibration processes for next generation radio telescopes. The University of Washington team will test an improved Bayesian calibration algorithm called Unified Calibration to enhance radio astronomy observations and 21 cm cosmology experiments. They will produce two Unified Calibration implementations - a flexible Python/Pyuvdata version for exploring...

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 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to constrain the carbon monoxide (CO) and neutral hydrogen (HI) cross power spectrum during the Epoch of Reionization. The $160,448 award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland. The project will duplicate an existing pathfinder receiver and conduct a survey of...

The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Specifically, the funding will support Yale University's...

This Project Grant award, valued at $169,693, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland to study the Cosmic Microwave Background and the epoch of reionization using carbon monoxide (CO) line intensity mapping. The research team will work with the Caltech...

This three-year, four hundred twenty-six thousand seven hundred forty-eight dollar Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research at Cornell University to combine measurements from cosmic microwave background experiments and galaxy clustering surveys to probe the nature of gravity, dark matter, and neutrinos in the universe. Key products will include the highest signal-to-noise pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich measurements to date...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $199,461 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This 3-year grant supports the Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), an imaging spectrometer that will observe on the Arizona Radio Observatory 12-meter radio telescope at Kitt Peak. The TIME instrument will map large portions of the sky to probe the early...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $407,067 Project Grant to Cornell University to conduct collaborative research using the Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), an imaging spectrometer that will observe on the Arizona Radio Observatory 12-meter radio telescope. The 3-year grant, with a start date of September 1, 2023, will support scientific operations, data reduction pipeline development, and publication of results from TIME's...
