This Project Grant award, valued at $457,856, was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award will establish the IDASTRO program, a collaboration of Idaho colleges and universities including Boise State University, College of Idaho, and College of Western Idaho, to improve access for students to astronomy research in the state of Idaho. The IDASTRO program will provide personalized mentoring,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $526,998 to Yale University to conduct research on the star formation process. The primary objectives are to: Use millimeter-wave observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to probe the structure and evolution of star-forming regions, specifically examining how material is funneled from...
This $421,175 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports a research project titled "The Emergence of Star Clusters: Insights from Artificial Intelligence." The project aims to better understand the physical mechanisms of star formation by analyzing data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array and the James Webb Space Telescope to measure the timescales for clearing natal gas from newly formed stellar clusters....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $546,269 Project Grant to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The grant, funded under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research to study how star clusters form and disperse over time. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year award include: 1) developing semi-analytic models to predict cluster properties and mass loss; 2) comparing...
This Project Grant award of $118,673 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project focused on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." A team of astronomers from the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, Florida Gulf Coast University, SETI Institute, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and University of Wisconsin-Madison, along with international partners, will...
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) to expand access to authentic astronomy research experiences for underrepresented undergraduate students. The "USA SKY Partners" program, managed by LCO, will provide a curriculum, training, and mentoring for faculty as well as access to LCO's global network of 0.4m robotic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $168,673 Project Grant to Lowell Observatory, a non-profit research institution in Flagstaff, Arizona, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year grant supports a collaborative research program to study "Thorne-Zytkow Objects" (TZOs) - a novel model for how the interiors of stars can function. Key activities include running computer simulations of binary star systems that may form TZOs, using...
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 $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 $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...
