Project Grant 2206813
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $343,572 supports the completion and early analysis of the Hawaii-Two-0 (H20) Survey through September 2025. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award enables an ultra-deep, multi-wavelength galaxy survey across two 10-square degree regions. The H20 Survey will image an unprecedented 500,000 high-redshift Lyman break galaxies, 12,000 quiescent systems, and 50-100 proto-clusters between redshifts 3-7...
- This $345,303 collaborative research project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) will support scientists at the University of Hawaii and the University of Chicago in analyzing complementary datasets from state-of-the-art astronomical surveys to obtain precise and unbiased constraints on the properties of the universe. The research team will use measurements of galaxy positions, gravitational lensing of galaxies, gravitational...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, with CFDA number 47.049, will provide $788,071 to the University of Hawaii (UH) for the "Cosmology in the Local Volume with Hawaii Supernova Flows" research project. The primary goals of this 3-year project are to significantly expand the Hawaii Supernova Flows Survey by using over 3,000 new Type Ia supernovae to map the largest structures in the universe out to 300...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $248,928 project grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Hawaii at Hilo (UH Hilo). The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027. The purpose of this grant is to develop an independent measurement of the sigma-8 parameter, which quantifies the amplitude of matter density fluctuations, in order to test the Lambda-CDM model of cosmology. The researcher will create a semi-analytic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $420,240 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Merced to support a collaborative research project investigating how star formation is suppressed (quenched) in galaxies residing in distant massive clusters. The project will apply new analysis techniques to images from the Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments (GOGREEN) survey to determine the spatial...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,796 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of candidate dusty starburst galaxies in the early universe. The main objectives are to determine accurate redshifts and positions, and define a statistically significant sample of galaxies at z > 6. This will involve deep optical and near-infrared follow-up observations to...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), aims to establish a collaboration between the University of Hawaii (UH) and Duke University to advance supernova cosmology research. The $277,608 award will support activities to: Leverage UH-led supernova discovery surveys, such as Pan-STARRS and ATLAS, to significantly reduce key systematic uncertainties in cosmological parameters. This will be achieved by...
- This $160,713 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund a comprehensive survey of the Aquila Rift region to further understand star formation within its dark gas clouds. Lowell Observatory will complete the survey using the Dark Energy Camera on the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory telescope, the only facility capable of this search. Principal Investigator Dr. Rector...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $426,848 supports the Hawaii-Two-0 (H20) Survey, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The H20 Survey will complete ultra-deep, multi-wavelength imaging of two 10-square degree regions to identify over 500,000 high-redshift Lyman break galaxies, 12,000 quiescent systems, and 50-100 proto-clusters between redshifts 3-7. Follow-up spectroscopy with Keck Observatory will measure photometric redshift calibrations, confirm proto-clusters, and search for high escape fraction objects. Data science techniques will extract maximum scientific information from the multi-dimensional H20 data. Catalogs will support calibration of the upcoming Euclid space telescope's fields. The award was made on October 1, 2022 to the Regents of the University of California, Riverside to complete the survey and initial analysis by September 30, 2025.
