This $271,496 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research on dwarf galaxies over cosmic time. The University of Arizona will investigate dwarf galaxy populations within five million parsecs and halfway across the observable universe using wide-field, high-resolution multi-object spectrometers in both hemispheres. An integral field unit spectrograph constructed with prior NSF funding, IFUM, will obtain the first measurements of star formation rates, metallicity,...
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 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...
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 $391,640 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support research conducted by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to develop advanced galaxy prediction models for the faint and low surface brightness universe. The key focus areas include: Generating predictions for the number, stellar/luminosity function, sizes, and radial distribution of satellite galaxies...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $260,250 funds research to quantify the systematic errors in measurements of dark matter mass in dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way. The research aims to understand the amount of dark matter in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the largest of the small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, and determine how well dark matter can be measured in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $622,334 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct collaborative research on dark matter physics and its implications for galaxy formation. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: (1) new public software modules implementing different dark matter particle models...
This Project Grant award for $419,979, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports collaborative research to reconstruct primordial density fluctuations using near-field cosmology. The research, conducted by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), will develop a comprehensive model to predict the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way. This model will be used to yield constraints on dark matter...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $398,629 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports collaborative research to systematically predict dynamical signatures of new dark matter physics in galaxies. The researchers will implement various dark matter models in simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and smaller dwarfs, creating a set of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $242,456 Project Grant to the University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) to study ultrafaint dwarf galaxies and develop a mentorship education curriculum. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include: Analyzing existing spectroscopic data from five ultrafaint dwarf galaxies to measure metallicities and chemical abundances,...
