The grant, awarded on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027, will support two distinct efforts: Developing techniques to search for gravitational waves using gravitational lensing methods, and Extending a new small-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB)...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $633,401 Project Grant titled "ALL-SKY PRECISE STELLAR AGES FOR GALACTIC AND STELLAR ARCHAEOLOGY" to The Johns Hopkins University. The 3-year grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the research team to calculate precise ages and compositions for hundreds of thousands of "subgiant" stars. This large catalog of high-precision stellar ages and other key...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $280,576 Project Grant to Princeton University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research on "COSMOLOGY AND ASTROPHYSICS WITH MACHINE LEARNING SIMULATIONS (CAMELS) TO MAXIMIZE THE SCIENCE RETURN OF NEXT-GENERATION COSMOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS." Specifically, Princeton University will leverage machine learning techniques...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $1,096,498 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to advance technologies for measuring the largest angular scale cosmic microwave background. The two-year award, which began on September 1, 2021, will support development and fabrication of enhanced silicone lenses to measure the cosmic microwave background. Additionally, the University of Chicago will receive a sub-award as part of the project to lead enhanced silicone lens development and fabrication under the direction of Dr. McMahon. The funding will promote progress in mathematical and physical sciences research on major problems confronting the nation by increasing understanding of the cosmic microwave background on the largest observable scales.
