This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to reconstruct primordial density fluctuations using near-field cosmology. The key product of this $419,979 award, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027, will be an efficient and accurate model for predicting the Milky...
This Project Grant award, valued at $190,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award funds the research of Professor Luis Anchordoqui at CUNY Lehman College, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, to study methods that can help address the "Hubble constant tension" - a discrepancy in measurements of the universe's expansion rate. Specifically, Professor Anchordoqui will pursue...
This $345,303 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports collaborative research by scientists at the University of Hawaii and the University of Chicago. The researchers will analyze data from multiple state-of-the-art astronomical surveys, including the Dark Energy Survey (DES), South Pole Telescope (SPT), and Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), to obtain precise and unbiased constraints on the properties of the universe....
