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 $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 $346,372 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to better understand the interaction between interstellar gas, supernova explosions, and massive young stars in nearby galaxies. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will support observation, processing, and analysis associated with the Local Group L-Band Survey, an 1,800-hour Very Large Array survey of six northern Local Group galaxies including Andromeda. The survey will...
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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $304,225 to the University of Florida and the University of Chicago from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to advance understanding of stellar formation history through non-local thermodynamic equilibrium modeling of elemental abundances in metal-poor red giant stars. Specifically, the universities will...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $243,204 to the University of California Santa Cruz to characterize metal-poor stars in the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will fund analysis of over 300 metal-poor star candidates identified in the APOGEE survey data. Follow-up observations will be conducted at Lick and Keck...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded The University of Alabama in Huntsville a $151,847 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049) program. The grant supports research to expand understanding of the Milky Way galaxy's structure through measuring stellar distances using asteroseismology. Investigators will observe brightness variations in hundreds of thousands of distant stars from ground-based telescopes to infer distances and...
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...
