This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,796 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of candidate dusty starburst galaxies in the early universe. The main objectives are to determine accurate redshifts and positions, and define a statistically significant sample of galaxies at z > 6. This will involve deep optical and near-infrared follow-up observations to...
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 $348,961 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences on April 15, 2025 will fund research by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to investigate the impact of dust on observations of distant galaxies. The research, titled "The Astrophysics of the Obscured Universe Across Cosmic Time," will utilize multiple telescopes to understand how dust in the most distant galaxies affects our understanding of galaxy formation...
This $350,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The award will fund a collaborative research project to map the Magellanic Clouds and investigate the fossil evidence of past interactions between these dwarf galaxies and smaller systems they have accreted. The investigators will use cutting-edge observational datasets to analyze the kinematical...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports collaborative research to study galaxies that have recently suppressed their star formation. The $262,204 award will enable researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder to develop methods for identifying these "post-starburst" galaxies and use multi-wavelength observations to measure their dust,...
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 $416,880 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project led by Montana State University (MSU) to study the Magellanic Clouds, two nearby dwarf galaxies. The project aims to use new observations and existing datasets to map the Magellanic Clouds and search for fossil evidence of past interactions between the two galaxies or with smaller systems they have accreted. The...
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...
This $578,577 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on August 15, 2023. The award supports collaborative research to spatially resolve the mechanisms driving star formation quenching in galaxies using molecular gas observations. The project will leverage recently completed galaxy surveys and state-of-the-art simulations to investigate whether the cessation of star...
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...
