This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $269,690 to support research and education activities under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). A collaboration between the University of Nevada, University of California Los Angeles, and Arizona State University will develop advanced galaxy modeling tools and conduct cross-correlation analyses to maximize scientific return from upcoming telescopes studying the epoch of reionization and first galaxies. Specifically, the team will enhance semi-numeric simulations to model Lyman-alpha emission and its impacts, develop methods to correlate galaxy surveys with measurements of large-scale structure and the intergalactic medium, and forecast results from cross-correlating high-redshift galaxy, 21cm, and cosmic microwave background data. The award also aims to provide research training for undergraduate students from underrepresented groups in astronomy.
