This $505,312 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on near-infrared spectroscopy of distant galaxies using a new photonic OH suppression filter technology. The University of Maryland, College Park is the primary awardee and will utilize the Lowell Discovery Telescope to conduct observations of transient events like gamma-ray bursts. The project...
This $410,294 National Science Foundation project grant funds an undergraduate group research project led by the University of Arizona to conduct large-scale mapping of filaments and cores in nearby molecular clouds. The project aligns with the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of advancing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems in these fields. Specifically, the grant supports using the Arizona Radio Observatory 12m telescope to map the Taurus and Aquila...
This $526,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research to better understand the star formation process. The principal investigator will use the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to observe dense gas surrounding newly forming stars at different stages of development. The project aims to determine how material flows from molecular clouds into the inner regions around protostars, as well as how protostellar...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $291,840 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of Chicago. This 3-year award, spanning September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will support a collaborative research project to develop and apply new techniques for precisely measuring the motions of faint stars using ground-based survey telescopes. The research aims to provide critical data for understanding the formation...
This federal Project Grant award of $213,635, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project focused on studying planet formation. The research team will characterize the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in disks surrounding new-born stars to understand how this volatile gas may interact with and be transported by the planet-forming materials within the disk....
This $598,575 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to better understand planet formation around young stars. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Michigan, will use the CHARA interferometric array to make multi-wavelength observations of the inner regions of protoplanetary disks surrounding both solar-mass and intermediate-mass young stars. This research aims to...
This $129,943 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will support an eight-week Research Experience for Undergraduates site at the University of California, Riverside focused on educating a new generation of astronomers. Eight student interns will conduct observational, theoretical, computational, and data-driven research addressing fundamental questions in modern astronomy. Interns will receive instruction in Python programming, data...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $595,237 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to support continuing operations of two astronomical imagers for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. Under the award, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory will utilize two telescope-mounted digital cameras to provide observational data and imagery for scientific research projects in cosmology,...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $350,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The primary objective of the award is to use new observations and existing datasets to map the Magellanic Clouds and search for fossil evidence of past interactions between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds or with smaller systems they have accreted. The research team, led by the University...
