This $104,425 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to chart the connection between supernovae, interstellar gas, and star formation in the Local Group of galaxies via a major new survey using the Very Large Array radio telescope. Specifically, the University of Washington will conduct observation, processing, and analysis of the Local Group L-Band Survey, an 1,800-hour VLA survey of six northern Local Group galaxies including Andromeda. The survey will simultaneously map...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $322,258 will support the Local Group L-Band Survey, a major new 1,800-hour observational survey of six northern Local Group galaxies using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. Conducted under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the survey simultaneously maps the 21-cm hydrogen line and 1-2 GHz radio continuum emission to study interactions between the interstellar medium, star formation, and stellar feedback at an...
This $346,372 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to better understand the interaction between interstellar gas, supernova explosions, and massive young stars in nearby galaxies. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will support observation, processing, and analysis associated with the Local Group L-Band Survey, an 1,800-hour Very Large Array survey of six northern Local Group galaxies including Andromeda. The survey will...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, with a total funding amount of $441,642, supports research to deepen the understanding of the final stages of stellar evolution, specifically focusing on red giants and their mass-shedding processes. The key objectives of this 2-year research project, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, are to: Employ very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations,...
This $484,651 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support a research project at Arizona State University (ASU) to characterize radio continuum emission from low-redshift Lyman continuum leakers. The goal is to better understand the reionization of the universe, which was driven by young galaxies that ionized the intergalactic medium by a redshift of ~6. The project will leverage 221 hours of VLA...
This $396,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports observational and laboratory studies of the evolution of circumstellar material from late-stage stellar evolution. The primary objectives are to: 1) Conduct a broadband millimeter-wave survey to analyze the carbon budget and isotope ratios in the carbon-rich envelope of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC+10216; 2) Perform laboratory measurements of the rotational...
This $325,777 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey capabilities to promptly identify and study new supernovae in nearby galaxies, taking advantage of a network of small telescopes. This will enable the discovery of...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences totaling $476,066 will support research characterizing low-mass galaxies through spectroscopy from ground-based telescopes and the James Webb Space Telescope. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will allow detection and spectroscopic characterization of the faintest and youngest galaxies ever discovered between redshifts of 4-7. Specifically, the University...
This NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program award of $447,644 to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory will fund a 5-year research project to study the lifecycle of normal matter (baryonic matter) in the solar neighborhood of the Milky Way galaxy. The project aims to produce integrated 3D models of interstellar gas and young stellar clusters in this region, enabling high-resolution comparisons between galactic and extragalactic star formation. Key products will include 3D spatial...
