The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $625,319 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on October 1, 2021 to fund the research project "A NEW PROBE OF THE MAGNETIC INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM" through September 30, 2024.
Under this award, Caltech researchers will develop new techniques to study the magnetic properties of gas and dust between star systems, known as the interstellar medium. The work supports the goals of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program by advancing understanding of astrophysical phenomena. Key deliverables will include new observational data and scientific findings regarding the structure and dynamics of the Milky Way galaxy's interstellar magnetic fields. Insights gained from this research could improve knowledge of star and planet formation processes.
