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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $202,576 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, doing business as Princeton University, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports a collaborative research effort to study how to indirectly test and constrain the properties of dark matter through observations of individual galaxies. Key deliverables include: 1) new, publicly available software modules...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $438,078 Project Grant to New York University (NYU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the development of a new statistical method to quantify the relationship between dark matter and the observable galaxies in the universe. The researchers will apply this technique to analyze data from the Bright Galaxy Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)....
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), will support collaborative research by scientists at the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii to precisely measure the distribution of matter in the universe. The $345,303 grant will fund the analysis of multiple complementary astronomical surveys, including the Dark Energy Survey, South Pole Telescope, and Atacama Cosmology...
This $539,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support research into the unexpectedly high number of bright, rapidly star-forming galaxies observed at the cosmic dawn. The award recipient, Princeton University, will conduct simulations and analytical modeling to understand the physical conditions that could explain these observations, particularly in the context of massive dark matter halos at high redshift. The research aims...
This $598,336 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research led by the University of Connecticut to advance galaxy evolution modeling through multi-scale, empirically-constrained hydrodynamic simulations. The key objectives are to: (1) integrate detailed interstellar medium physics and sub-parsec scale accretion modeling to investigate the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Drexel University to measure the mass distribution of dark matter in the universe. The $359,436 award, active from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, will enable the research team to analyze distortions in the shapes of approximately 100 million galaxies observed through the Dark Energy Survey. By interpreting these "cosmic flexion"...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $329,659 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on the formation of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The research aims to understand the physics behind the transition from early, non-disk galaxies to the disk-shaped galaxies we observe today, including the roles of galaxy potentials, interstellar medium evolution, and other...
This Project Grant award for $605,057 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research led by Professor Blazek at Northeastern University. The award, titled "CAREER: Exploring the Dark Sector with State-of-the-Art Galaxy Surveys," aims to advance understanding of dark energy and dark matter through sophisticated analyses of data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The research program will develop...
