This three-year, $236,990 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will support the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES) to map gas flows and star formation across the entire central region of the Milky Way galaxy. Led by researchers at the University of Florida, ACES will utilize the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to conduct the first comprehensive measurement of mass flows in a galactic nucleus. Products will include a catalog...
This three-year, $315,732 National Science Foundation project grant will support the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES) to map gas flows and star formation across the entire central molecular zone of the Milky Way galaxy. Led by researchers at the University of Kansas, ACES will utilize the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to conduct the first comprehensive measurement of mass flows in a galaxy nucleus. Products will include a catalog of extended and compact gas and protostellar...
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory will receive $190,606 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences to conduct the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey. The Observatory will lead critical components of the Survey to map gas flows and star formation across the entire central region of the Milky Way galaxy, known as the Central Molecular Zone. Products will include a catalog of extended and compact gas and protostellar mass components in the Zone, as...
This $228,609 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research into understanding high-mass star formation through observations of cold, dense gas cores using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the research team will conduct a systematic survey of potential starless, high-mass gas clumps within 5 kiloparsecs of Earth to reveal any embedded high-mass cores. Detailed ALMA observations will deliver...
The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. received a $482,550 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The 5-year project, led by Principal Investigator Mills, aims to investigate how supermassive black holes are fed and stars form in the innermost regions of nearby galaxies. The research team will use the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) telescopes to map cold gas...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) will provide $562,366 to Stony Brook University to conduct research on the evolution of molecular gas and giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in nearby galaxies. The research program, titled "ALMA-FACTS: ALMA Fundamental CO 1-0 Transition Survey of Nearby Galaxies", will utilize the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to study...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $526,998 to Yale University to conduct research on the star formation process. The primary objectives are to: Use millimeter-wave observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to probe the structure and evolution of star-forming regions, specifically examining how material is funneled from...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant for $631,159, awarded to the University of Toledo effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2028, will conduct research to directly test black hole accretion rate prescriptions used in computer simulations of galaxy formation and evolution. The project will leverage state-of-the-art near-infrared adaptive optics-assisted integral field spectroscopy and long-baseline interferometry using the NSF's...
This $206,240 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research and educational activities to advance understanding of galaxy formation and evolution processes through multi-wavelength studies of circumgalactic media (CGM). Specifically, the University of Colorado researchers will (1) use machine learning to interpret new X-ray data in light of hydrodynamical simulations to constrain CGM physics, (2) explore using radio and fast radio...
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...
