The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. was awarded a $175,654 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on February 15, 2021 to complete the project by October 31, 2022. Titled "APPLES TO APPLES: COMPARING THE CORES OF NEARBY GALAXIES," the grant will fund research comparing galactic cores as part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This program aims to promote progress in the mathematical and...
The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. received a $482,550 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The 5-year project, led by Principal Investigator Mills, aims to investigate how supermassive black holes are fed and stars form in the innermost regions of nearby galaxies. The research team will use the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) telescopes to map cold gas...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences award of $375,211 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. aims to better understand how a galaxy's gas supply and star formation activity are altered as it moves through the cosmic web to cluster centers. The researchers will quantify environmental quenching of star formation by measuring the relative extent of the star-forming and stellar disks for 14,000 nearby galaxies - a factor of 20 increase over previous...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023 for $242,524, supports collaborative research by the University of Arizona aimed at exploring the composition of exoplanetary systems through observations and modeling of dusty circumstellar disks around other stars. The research goal is to determine the composition of rocky material orbiting other stars by analyzing the dust released from colliding rocks, which reflects and...
The Trustees of Boston University were awarded a two-year, $464,331 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research connecting multiwavelength variability of protoplanetary disks and their dynamic host stars through August 2023. As part of its mission to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences, the NSF Mathematical and Physical...
This $701,713 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, enabled Kansas State University (KSU) to acquire an advanced X-ray diffraction system. The instrument supports a broad range of cross-disciplinary research in areas such as nanomaterials, renewable energy, catalysis, separation and chemical/biochemical sensing, polymers, geology, and biology. The award facilitates research and training...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant award (CFDA 47.049) for $389,192 supports a 5-year research project at the University of New Mexico (UNM) to study the links between outer giant planets and their inner planetary systems. The project aims to use spectroscopy to determine if inner planets exist around stars known to host giant planets like Jupiter, and to analyze the atmospheric compositions of any detected inner planets to understand the...
This three-year Project Grant award of $270,000 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research at Kansas State University to probe and control electronic dynamics in matter with atomic spatiotemporal resolution. The university will use the funding to advance understanding of major problems in physics by increasing the store of scientific knowledge through experiments that increase the precision of observing and manipulating electronic...
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...
Arizona State University was awarded a two-year, $320,615 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049).
