This three-year, $357,003 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support continued investigations of nearby dwarf galaxies as well as expanded studies of dwarf galaxies in galaxy groups within a radius of five million parsecs. Key deliverables include mapping dark matter halos within Milky Way satellites via multi-epoch spectroscopy; analyzing detailed chemical abundance patterns at low metallicities characteristic of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded San Jose State University Research Foundation a $378,953 Project Grant to conduct research on the origins and properties of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). Through this 3-year grant, the researchers will integrate photometric, spectroscopic, and cosmological simulation data to investigate UDG star formation histories, chemical abundances, dark matter content, and globular cluster populations. Key goals include determining...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $273,175 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Magellanic Dwarfs as a Key Laboratory for Dwarf Galaxy Formation" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant funding will support research collaborations examining dwarf galaxies in the Magellanic Clouds to advance understanding of dwarf galaxy...
This $338,402 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of the award is to develop a comprehensive model that predicts the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way as a function of dark matter properties and early universe dynamics. This will enable near-field measurements of small-scale matter clustering, yielding...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $512,912 to Arizona State University (ASU) supports a 3-year research program to study the evolution of galaxies in high-redshift clusters. The project will utilize deep observations from the Atacama Large Sub/Millimeter Array (ALMA), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and Very Large Telescope (VLT) to map star formation, measure baryon fractions, evaluate disk stability, and identify quenching...
This Project Grant award, valued at $481,791.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award aims to investigate the physical origin of satellite planes around the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies, which do not yet have a compelling explanation within the current Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of galaxy formation. The key objectives of this 3-year project include: 1) Developing models...
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 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 University of Chicago received a $557,317 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences to study the formation and evolution of ultra-faint satellite galaxies surrounding the Milky Way. The project, funded from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026, will use imaging data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey to perform a rigorous census of these elusive galaxies. By combining observational data with cosmological simulations,...
