This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award provides $251,928 to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on combining galaxy and cosmic microwave background surveys to obtain precise and robust constraints on cosmology - the distribution of matter throughout the universe. The research team will analyze complementary measurements of galaxy positions, gravitational lensing of galaxies, gravitational lensing...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under CFDA # 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports researchers at Washington University in St. Louis to conduct studies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with simultaneous TeV gamma-ray and X-ray observations. The $374,999 award, effective from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the team to complete and deliver a public legacy dataset of AGN observations, including a first...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $1,945,592 from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029 to the University of Chicago to support measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with the South Pole Telescope's SPT-3G camera. The award will enable expanding the sky coverage of the unprecedented CMB temperature and polarization maps produced by SPT-3G, which play a central role in probing current...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $678,343 to the University of Chicago supports research to unravel the physical processes responsible for the acceleration of ions in active galactic nuclei (AGN) outflows. The project aims to use semi-analytical formalism and plasma simulations to model ion acceleration at AGN wind shocks and relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations to calculate the expected spectra of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and neutrinos from AGN...
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 constraining models of baryonic feedback in the universe. The research team at the University of Chicago will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to data from cosmic microwave background and galaxy surveys to gain insights into the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $345,303 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of Chicago. The grant supports a collaborative research program to precisely measure the distribution of matter throughout the cosmos using data from multiple state-of-the-art astronomical surveys, including the Dark Energy Survey, South Pole Telescope, and Atacama Cosmology Telescope.
