This Project Grant award, valued at $169,693, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland to study the Cosmic Microwave Background and the epoch of reionization using carbon monoxide (CO) line intensity mapping. The research team will work with the Caltech...
This $249,963 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to study planet formation by characterizing the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in protoplanetary disks surrounding new-born stars. The research team will use infrared spectroscopy and millimeter imaging from world-class ground-based observatories to probe the CO chemistry in both the inner planet-forming region and the outer...
This $578,577 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on August 15, 2023. The award supports collaborative research to spatially resolve the mechanisms driving star formation quenching in galaxies using molecular gas observations. The project will leverage recently completed galaxy surveys and state-of-the-art simulations to investigate whether the cessation of star...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to constrain the carbon monoxide (CO) and neutral hydrogen (HI) cross power spectrum during the Epoch of Reionization. The $160,448 award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland. The project will duplicate an existing pathfinder receiver and conduct a survey of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PROTOCOMETS TO PROTOPLANETS: CONNECTING THE CHEMICAL ECOSYSTEMS OF PLANET-FORMING DISKS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM", will support research to characterize the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in disks surrounding new-born stars. The $213,635 award, effective September 15, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will utilize data from ground-based observatories like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Keck...
This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate the evolution of the Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way. The project aims to map the Magellanic Clouds and their periphery to search for evidence of past interactions between the clouds or with smaller accreted systems. By...
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...
This $447,644 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution. The award will support a 5-year research project led by the Principal Investigator to study the lifecycle of gas and young stars in the solar neighborhood. The project will produce three novel observational data products: 3D spatial models of gaseous...
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 Division of Astronomical Sciences has awarded a $644,032 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on reconstructing the early formation history of the Milky Way galaxy. The research, funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will observe the oldest known metal-poor stars in the galaxy using high-resolution spectroscopy. This will allow the investigator to characterize the sites...
