- This National Science Foundation project grant of $346,472 will fund research into developing a new physical halo model for interpreting dark matter distribution data from galaxy surveys. A collaboration between the University of Arizona and the University of Maryland will provide the first fully physically motivated definition of dark matter halos based on the dichotomy between particles orbiting versus infalling into halos. The team will develop this revised halo model framework, construct...
- This $508,212 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the creation of an ambitious simulation suite that will uniformly cover an unprecedented range of dark matter and gravity models. The goal is to enable detailed comparisons between these simulations and observational survey data, potentially ruling out certain models of dark matter and gravity. The simulations will be publicly available to enable...
- This Project Grant award of $118,776 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research to connect galaxies to dark matter halos using data from the Merian survey of 100,000 dwarf galaxies. The project aims to characterize the baryon and dark matter content of these dwarf galaxies through a united theory and observational approach. Key activities include measuring the composition and dark matter proportions of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to investigate dark matter, the largest and most mysterious component of galaxies. The $313,105 award, spanning September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a team of researchers from the University of North Carolina, University of Pennsylvania, and Northwestern University to conduct advanced computer simulations of galaxy formation and stellar...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $398,629 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports collaborative research to systematically predict dynamical signatures of new dark matter physics in galaxies. The researchers will implement various dark matter models in simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and smaller dwarfs, creating a set of...
- This Project Grant award of $552,880.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a research project at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor that aims to shed light on the nature of dark matter. The project will run computational simulations to understand how the underlying dark matter distribution affects the observed properties of globular cluster streams - long, thin trails of stars pulled from dense star clusters as...
- 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 $186,788 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support a collaborative research project titled "Connecting Galaxies to Halos with the Marvelous Merian Dwarfs." The principal investigators will use a new dataset of 100,000 dwarf galaxies to measure their composition and proportion of dark matter, stars, and gas. Advanced computer models and simulations will be used to explain the physical properties of these...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $622,334 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct collaborative research on dark matter physics and its implications for galaxy formation. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: (1) new public software modules implementing different dark matter particle models...
- This National Science Foundation award provides $345,251 to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a framework for interpreting panchromatic observations of galaxy cluster halos. Working with the University of California, Santa Cruz, the awardees will use large cosmological simulations and machine learning techniques to understand the complex covariances of dark matter halo properties as traced by...
