The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $903,802 Project Grant to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Going Green at High Resolution - Spatially Deconstructing Environmental Quenching Over 9 Billion Years." Principal Investigators Rudnick and Wilson will investigate how star formation is suppressed in distant galaxy clusters using new analysis techniques on images from the Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments survey. They will apply finite-resolution deconvolution to increase image resolution by 2.5x to spatially resolve how and when galaxies transition from star-forming to passive states depending on location within clusters. The team will also measure stellar mass profiles of transitioning galaxies and make all data products publicly available. This award falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in these fields.
