- This $539,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support research into the unexpectedly high number of bright, rapidly star-forming galaxies observed at the cosmic dawn. The award recipient, Princeton University, will conduct simulations and analytical modeling to understand the physical conditions that could explain these observations, particularly in the context of massive dark matter halos at high redshift. The research aims...
- 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...
- This $498,213 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a research project at Cornell University to investigate the interplay between galactic winds and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding galaxies. The project aims to provide new insights into how galaxies evolve over time by combining advanced computer simulations with observational data, particularly...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $435,097 to support research analyzing spectra from lensed galaxies and developing public outreach materials. The award to North Carolina State University will fund analysis of new and archival spectra from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager and Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer instruments to develop spatially-resolved maps of galaxy circumgalactic media on kiloparsec scales. Principal investigators...
- This $271,496 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research on dwarf galaxies over cosmic time. The University of Arizona will investigate dwarf galaxy populations within five million parsecs and halfway across the observable universe using wide-field, high-resolution multi-object spectrometers in both hemispheres. An integral field unit spectrograph constructed with prior NSF funding, IFUM, will obtain the first measurements of star formation rates, metallicity,...
- This Project Grant award of $415,771 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports a research project titled "MAUNA: MULTIPHASE ANALYSIS OF (U)LIRG NUCLEAR ACTIVITY". The investigators will leverage new astronomical observations, including from the Keck Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope, to study the dynamics of gas in merging galaxies. The goal is to develop a detailed understanding of how the interaction between stars, gas,...
- This $505,312 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on near-infrared spectroscopy of distant galaxies using a new photonic OH suppression filter technology. The University of Maryland, College Park is the primary awardee and will utilize the Lowell Discovery Telescope to conduct observations of transient events like gamma-ray bursts. The project...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,796 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of candidate dusty starburst galaxies in the early universe. The main objectives are to determine accurate redshifts and positions, and define a statistically significant sample of galaxies at z > 6. This will involve deep optical and near-infrared follow-up observations to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $420,110 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to "Explore Magnetic Fields on the Largest Scales." The 3-year award, beginning September 1, 2023, will fund research to develop a new "Gradient Technique" to map magnetic field directions in galaxy cluster "megahalos" - massive magnetic fields spanning millions of light years. The research aims to (1) test theories of the...
- This $510,140 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research by a team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop a data analysis pipeline for Kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (KSZ) velocity reconstruction. The goal is to apply this method to data from the upcoming Simons Observatory for the Cosmic Microwave Background and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory for galaxy distribution, in order to infer a...
