The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences has awarded a $644,032 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on reconstructing the early formation history of the Milky Way galaxy. The research, funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will observe the oldest known metal-poor stars in the galaxy using high-resolution spectroscopy. This will allow the investigator to characterize the sites...
This $145,866 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund a collaborative research initiative on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." The project aims to determine the interior structures of these stars by observing seismic waves and applying a new polarimetric technique. The research team, comprising astronomers from Florida Gulf Coast University, Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, SETI...
This $153,169 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at Saint Martins University that aims to study the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The research team, comprising investigators from four primarily undergraduate institutions, will obtain detailed observations of 3,000 stars to measure their...
This three-year, $153,949 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to create a unique catalog of open star clusters in the Milky Way disk through observations and analysis. The University of Utah will observe nearly all suitable open star clusters using spectroscopy from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V and astrometry from the Gaia satellite. Additional high-resolution spectroscopy will measure abundances of...
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 $118,673 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project focused on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." A team of astronomers from the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, Florida Gulf Coast University, SETI Institute, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and University of Wisconsin-Madison, along with international partners, will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $422,670 Project Grant to the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy (MIRA) to support a collaborative research effort on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars". This research project, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, aims to determine the interior structures of massive hot stars by applying a new technique called polarimetric asteroseismology. The collaboration...
This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate the evolution of the Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way. The project aims to map the Magellanic Clouds and their periphery to search for evidence of past interactions between the clouds or with smaller accreted systems. By...
This $338,402 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of the award is to develop a comprehensive model that predicts the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way as a function of dark matter properties and early universe dynamics. This will enable near-field measurements of small-scale matter clustering, yielding...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research to develop a unique catalog of open star clusters in the Milky Way galaxy through 2025. Led by Texas Christian University with $455,321 in funding, the research team will observe, compile, and analyze data on nearly all suitable open star clusters accessible through the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V and Gaia satellite. They will measure detailed abundances for over 20 elements to probe the...
