The National Science Foundation awarded a $186,747 Project Grant to the CAL Poly Pomona Foundation Inc. under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the project "LEAPS-MPS: THE TINIEST GALAXIES IN THE UNIVERSE AS TESTBEDS OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023.
The project will use some of the smallest known galaxies as testbeds to study fundamental physics. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to advance knowledge and understanding of natural phenomena through support of research projects and related activities. This award will further those goals by using observations of dwarf galaxies to explore questions in astrophysics and cosmology.
