This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $433,221.00 to the University of Illinois aims to advance understanding of star formation processes in galaxies. The research team will spatially resolve connections between the cold molecular gas fuel and declining star formation rates in aging galaxies, using a combination of observational data and computer simulations. They will leverage recently completed surveys and state-of-the-art...
This $262,273 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Texas A&M University. The funding will support a collaborative research project titled "A Matter of Timing: Star Formation Suppression Over the Last Half of Cosmic History". The project will study galaxies that have recently undergone a rapid shutdown of star formation, developing methods to identify these "post-starburst"...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $420,240 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Merced to support a collaborative research project investigating how star formation is suppressed (quenched) in galaxies residing in distant massive clusters. The project will apply new analysis techniques to images from the Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments (GOGREEN) survey to determine the spatial...
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 $460,851 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research project titled "MAUNA: Multiphase Analysis of (U)LIRG Nuclear Activity". The project will analyze new observations of merging galaxies to better understand the dynamics of gas movement and the impact on galaxy evolution. The research will leverage new Keck and JWST integral-field spectroscopic observations to study the hot ionized and warm...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $262,204 to study galaxies that recently stopped forming stars. The award aims to understand why some galaxies rapidly quench their star formation. The research team at the University of Colorado Boulder will use a wide range of telescope data to measure dust, gas, and active galactic nuclei in 50 post-starburst galaxies that quenched...
This $539,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support research into the unexpectedly high number of bright, rapidly star-forming galaxies observed at the cosmic dawn. The award recipient, Princeton University, will conduct simulations and analytical modeling to understand the physical conditions that could explain these observations, particularly in the context of massive dark matter halos at high redshift. The research aims...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $105,646, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a collaborative research project led by Seattle University. The research aims to confirm the origins of stars in the Milky Way's metal-poor bulge by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of candidate globular cluster tidal debris stars. The project will involve obtaining detailed observations of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $230,625 to support a research project entitled "LEAPS-MPS: UNVEILING THE ROLE OF A GALAXY'S STRUCTURE WITH BESPOKE NUMERICAL MODELS." The project, led by the principal investigator at the University Enterprises, Inc. (doing business as Sacramento State Sponsored Research), will use computer simulations to investigate how the shape and dynamics of...
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,...
