The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $334,252 project grant to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to support the "Isotopic and Elemental Abundances in Stars and Planets" research project. The three-year award, which runs from September 2021 through August 2024, falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The funding will allow the University of Kansas team to study the composition of stars and planets...
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...
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...
This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $527,050 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst to establish coherent frameworks for understanding massive galaxy formation and promote inclusive astronomy. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the investigator will use data from the Large Millimeter Telescope and Subaru Telescope to map the distribution of galaxies and molecular gas throughout...
The University of Iowa received a $343,595 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant funds a COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF NEARBY GALAXY MERGERS WITH A MASSIVE INTEGRAL-FIELD SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The University of Iowa will conduct research using a massive integral-field spectroscopic survey to study galaxy...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,306 project grant to The Johns Hopkins University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds collaborative research to take a panchromatic view of normal galaxies in the early universe. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing...
This $489,534 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a comprehensive study of core formation and core dynamics in galaxies by a team of researchers from the United States and Israel. The key objectives of the 3-year research project are to: (1) further develop and test a novel analytical model for studying the response of multi-component gravitational systems to perturbations; and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $153,355 Project Grant to the University of Alaska Anchorage under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance the understanding of the relationship between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The 3-year award will support a comprehensive study of the regions surrounding black holes in a large sample of nearby active galactic nuclei. Key activities include measuring the distribution and motions of molecular,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $367,885 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct collaborative research on the physical properties of star-forming galaxies across cosmic time. The award, supported under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to establish a better understanding of how to translate the spectral emission lines of galaxies into their underlying physical...
