Project Grant 2205725
- This $439,516 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at the University of Washington from September 2022 through August 2025. The project aims to develop a state-of-the-art hydrodynamic galaxy simulation code to study the complex interplay between stellar winds and outflows from star formation with the circumgalactic medium surrounding massive galaxies. Researchers will incorporate a subgrid...
- 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,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $733,325 Project Grant to Yale University through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support an extended suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations to resolve the filaments and intergalactic medium (IGM) and accurately model their evolution. This research aims to provide a detailed understanding of how gas accretion from the cosmic web fuels star formation and drives the evolution of galaxies,...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $356,389.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund a high-resolution computer simulation study of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies. The key objectives are to: 1) understand how supermassive black holes form and grow within massive galaxies, 2) examine how black hole feedback leads to the quenching of star formation, 3) investigate the structure and evolution...
- This federal Project Grant award of $408,008, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at New York University (NYU) to study the interaction between galactic winds and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding galaxies. The research aims to resolve the discrepancy between current galaxy formation models and observational data on galactic wind outflow rates. Using advanced computer...
- The University of Connecticut received a $598,336 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop advanced computer simulations that will lead to a better understanding of galaxies, supermassive black holes, and the evolution of the universe. The 5-year research project, which began on September 1, 2025, will focus on two key areas: (1) advancing physically predictive models of galaxies at sub-parsec resolution, and...
- This award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $596,139 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the co-evolution of galaxies and their satellite populations. The team will leverage their expertise in modeling sub-halo dynamics and the flow of mass, energy, and metals between galaxies and the surrounding circumgalactic medium to create...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $509,959 to the University of California, Merced to conduct collaborative research on unraveling the evolving dynamics of star clusters in Milky Way-like galaxy simulations. The research team will analyze advanced computer simulations to study how star clusters, which are dense collections of stars found around most galaxies, interact with and evolve within 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...
- 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...
This National Science Foundation award provides $161,052 to the University of Massachusetts under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to develop advanced hydrodynamic galaxy simulation software to study the complex interplay between stellar winds and the circumgalactic medium surrounding massive galaxies. Researchers will incorporate a subgrid wind model into an existing simulation code and validate the results. They will then use the software to model the circumgalactic medium of Milky Way-like galaxies at present epoch, generating synthetic ultraviolet absorption spectra to compare with Hubble Space Telescope data. This will advance understanding of the circumgalactic medium's structure and dynamics. The simulations will also be utilized in an outreach program introducing pre-majors from underrepresented groups to astrophysics modeling to encourage technically-oriented study.
