This $286,400 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research to significantly increase the sample size of known gravitational lenses. The University of California, Merced will leverage quadrupled strong gravitational lenses to provide new measurements of dark matter properties and test various theoretically motivated dark matter models. Specifically, the research aims...
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 Project Grant award of $345,303.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research at the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii. The goal is to obtain precise and unbiased measurements of the universe's matter distribution using complementary data from galaxy and cosmic microwave background surveys. Specifically, the research team will analyze gravitational lensing, galaxy positions,...
This $303,516 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports a 4-year collaborative research program led by investigators at Louisiana State University, Harvard University, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and University of Maryland, College Park. The research aims to improve understanding of explosive transients in the distant universe by simultaneously combining data from gravitational...
This $457,976 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to develop a novel framework for accurately modeling the distribution of baryonic matter in the universe. The project aims to bridge the gap between recent advances in artificial intelligence/machine learning and existing knowledge from large-scale galaxy and cosmic microwave background surveys. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $208,448 Project Grant to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to develop a software tool for modeling the rest-optical emission line spectra of distant galaxies dating back to the early universe, or "cosmic dawn". The award will support collaborative research by PIs Shapley and Sanders to analyze data from hundreds of galaxies observed roughly 10 billion years ago, when the universe was forming...
This $447,644 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to study the lifecycle of galactic matter and star formation in the solar neighborhood. The key products of this 5-year award include: Developing 3D spatial models of gaseous features (e.g. clouds, voids) in the local Milky Way using topological data analysis techniques and linking them to...
This $557,211 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports research to better understand the multi-phase, multi-scale circumgalactic medium (CGM) - the diffuse gas surrounding galaxies. The principal investigator will conduct high-resolution computer simulations to study the physics underlying the formation, evolution, and properties of galactic atmospheres and clouds, with a focus on turbulent fragmentation, magnetic field effects,...
