The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded the University of California Santa Cruz a $279,069 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund a collaborative research project between University of the Pacific and University of California Santa Cruz to use spectroscopic observations of globular clusters to study the dark matter content and assembly history of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will provide $353,236 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The funding will support a research project to identify and study merging galaxy clusters as "dark matter laboratories" to better understand the nature of dark matter interactions. The project will involve...
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 $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 $153,169 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at Saint Martins University that aims to study the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The research team, comprising investigators from four primarily undergraduate institutions, will obtain detailed observations of 3,000 stars to measure their...
The University of California Santa Cruz will receive $273,625 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences to develop a framework for interpreting panchromatic observations of galaxy cluster halos. The award, made under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support collaboration between researchers at UC Santa Cruz and the University of Maryland to combine data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, Atacama...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to reconstruct primordial density fluctuations using near-field cosmology. The key product of this $419,979 award, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027, will be an efficient and accurate model for predicting the Milky...
This $286,400 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research to significantly increase the sample size of known gravitational lenses. The University of California, Merced will leverage quadrupled strong gravitational lenses to provide new measurements of dark matter properties and test various theoretically motivated dark matter models. Specifically, the research aims...
This three-year, $263,272 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research to better understand galaxy cluster mergers through observational data and advanced hydrodynamical simulations of ten galaxy clusters. The California Institute of Technology will conduct deep, multi-probe observational studies of the selected clusters to map their total mass density, intracluster...
The University of California Santa Cruz received a $606,396 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund the "Collaborative Research: The Merian Survey," which aims to characterize dark matter and feedback in star forming dwarf galaxies through June 2024. As part of the NSF's mission to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences...
