This $557,211 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports research to better understand the multi-phase, multi-scale circumgalactic medium (CGM) - the diffuse gas surrounding galaxies. The principal investigator will conduct high-resolution computer simulations to study the physics underlying the formation, evolution, and properties of galactic atmospheres and clouds, with a focus on turbulent fragmentation, magnetic field effects,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $243,204 to the University of California Santa Cruz to characterize metal-poor stars in the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will fund analysis of over 300 metal-poor star candidates identified in the APOGEE survey data. Follow-up observations will be conducted at Lick and Keck...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $457,353 to The Ohio State University supports a program of data analysis and modeling to interpret the elemental abundance patterns of stars in the Milky Way and its dwarf satellite galaxies. The research, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to build a coherent picture of the stellar and galactic-scale phenomena that govern the synthesis of chemical elements. This work will...
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 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...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $218,572 to San Francisco State University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to characterize over 300 metal-poor star candidates observed in the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. The University will analyze and conduct follow-up observations of the metal-poor star candidates using the Lick and Keck telescopes to determine...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $433,221.00 to the University of Illinois aims to advance understanding of star formation processes in galaxies. The research team will spatially resolve connections between the cold molecular gas fuel and declining star formation rates in aging galaxies, using a combination of observational data and computer simulations. They will leverage recently completed surveys and state-of-the-art...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $291,606 to Siena College from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project 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. Key objectives include quantifying environmental quenching of star formation, determining how the cosmic...
This $153,169 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at Saint Martins University that aims to study the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The research team, comprising investigators from four primarily undergraduate institutions, will obtain detailed observations of 3,000 stars to measure their...
This $206,240 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research and educational activities to advance understanding of galaxy formation and evolution processes through multi-wavelength studies of circumgalactic media (CGM). Specifically, the University of Colorado researchers will (1) use machine learning to interpret new X-ray data in light of hydrodynamical simulations to constrain CGM physics, (2) explore using radio and fast radio...
