The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for $187,021 on August 15, 2024. The funding supports a highly targeted, urgent, and short-term continuation of an existing program that studies the early universe by deploying instrumentation to remote, radio-quiet locations. Specifically, the project aims to make sensitive observations with unprecedented absolute...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $398,629 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports collaborative research to systematically predict dynamical signatures of new dark matter physics in galaxies. The researchers will implement various dark matter models in simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and smaller dwarfs, creating a set of...
