- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $208,448 Project Grant to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to develop a software tool for modeling the rest-optical emission line spectra of distant galaxies dating back to the early universe, or "cosmic dawn". The award will support collaborative research by PIs Shapley and Sanders to analyze data from hundreds of galaxies observed roughly 10 billion years ago, when the universe was forming...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded $422,493 to the University of California, Los Angeles under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to develop computational tools and models that advance understanding of early galaxy formation. The project, which runs from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, will produce an analytical model of "burstiness" in early galaxies that incorporates the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $269,690 to support research and education activities under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). A collaboration between the University of Nevada, University of California Los Angeles, and Arizona State University will develop advanced galaxy modeling tools and conduct cross-correlation analyses to maximize scientific return from upcoming telescopes studying the epoch of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $329,659 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on the formation of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The research aims to understand the physics behind the transition from early, non-disk galaxies to the disk-shaped galaxies we observe today, including the roles of galaxy potentials, interstellar medium evolution, and other...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $512,912 to Arizona State University (ASU) supports a 3-year research program to study the evolution of galaxies in high-redshift clusters. The project will utilize deep observations from the Atacama Large Sub/Millimeter Array (ALMA), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and Very Large Telescope (VLT) to map star formation, measure baryon fractions, evaluate disk stability, and identify quenching...
- 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 $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...
- The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a three-year, $127,611 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds collaborative research to explore galaxy growth in diverse cosmic environments at redshift 2.5 using Lyman-alpha tomography. This technique maps the distribution of neutral hydrogen gas across large areas of the early universe to study how...
- 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...
- 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...
