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 $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...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $982,845 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on September 1, 2021 to develop the next generation 211-373 GHz receiver for the Arizona Radio Observatory's sub-millimeter telescope. The grant is part of NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which supports progress in these scientific fields and strengthens the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Under this...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $3,904,416 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to develop, fabricate, and install the optical alignment systems for the initial seven medium-sized telescopes for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory. This project supports U.S. CTA scientists in this work, which will be conducted at the telescope sites in La Palma, Spain, Paranal, Chile, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $6,500,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the GMTO Corporation in Pasadena, CA. The award will support the further development of key technologies needed to enable the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) located in Chile to achieve the sharpest possible images of the southern skies. Specific technical components include: (i) design and construction of an adaptive optics and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $449,190 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc. (LCO), a non-profit organization based in Goleta, California. The grant, titled "USA SKY PARTNERS: EXPANDING ACCESS TO AUTHENTIC RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR UNDERGRADUATES," will fund a program that provides astronomy research opportunities for students at U.S. undergraduate institutions,...
This $228,609 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research into understanding high-mass star formation through observations of cold, dense gas cores using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the research team will conduct a systematic survey of potential starless, high-mass gas clumps within 5 kiloparsecs of Earth to reveal any embedded high-mass cores. Detailed ALMA observations will deliver...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $360,589 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System, doing business as the Curators of the University of Missouri, for the "Collaborative Research: The Emergence of Dusty Starbursts in Cosmic History" project. The project aims to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of 629 candidate dusty starburst galaxies at redshifts greater than 6 using the 50-meter Large Millimeter Telescope...
This $732,034 Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support the development and deployment of an Operational Data Sharing (ODS) system to enable real-time spectrum sharing between radio astronomy observatories and satellite constellations. The primary objectives are to construct the ODS system and experiment with spectrum sharing between the Jansky Very Large Array in New Mexico, the Green Bank Telescope in...
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...
