This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023 for $242,524, supports collaborative research by the University of Arizona aimed at exploring the composition of exoplanetary systems through observations and modeling of dusty circumstellar disks around other stars. The research goal is to determine the composition of rocky material orbiting other stars by analyzing the dust released from colliding rocks, which reflects and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $305,225 to support research into the evolution of gas in protoplanetary disks under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The University of Arizona will lead efforts to analyze deep observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) of a sample of protoplanetary disks spanning typical lifetimes from 0.1-10 million years. Researchers will measure gas...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $444,232 to support research into the evolution of gas in protoplanetary disks. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award to the University of Wisconsin-Madison will gather breakthrough data through the ALMA survey of gas evolution in protoplanetary disks (Age-Pro) accepted Large Program. Researchers will collect and analyze deep ALMA...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $449,288 will fund a 3-year research program at Columbia University to investigate variations in planet formation conditions. The research will utilize radio telescopes to analyze the structure and chemistry of protoplanetary disks around young stars, particularly in environments that have been less characterized. Specific objectives include comparing the chemical properties of disks undergoing late...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $338,029 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to study the time variability and duty cycle of active galactic nuclei during the quenching phase of galaxy evolution. The 3-year research project will utilize optical and radio observations to investigate how supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies impact the cessation of star formation. The goal is to provide crucial context for understanding the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $503,884 Project Grant to the Carnegie Institution Of Washington, doing business as Carnegie Institution For Science, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The goal of this 3-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, is to determine the composition of rocky material orbiting other stars by observing and modeling the dust in circumstellar disks. The project will leverage the new MAGAO-X...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences CFDA program (47.049), provides $522,928 to fund a comprehensive spectral line survey of 40 protoplanetary disks around young stars. The research team, led by Harvard University's Office for Sponsored Programs, will use the Submillimeter Array to collect over 120 GHz of high-resolution spectral data to investigate the chemistry of the outer disk regions,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund collaborative research to study the L/T transition in brown dwarfs using polarimetry techniques. The primary goals are to refine the understanding of this atmospheric transition and develop tools to aid in the design and analysis of future polarimetric observations of brown dwarfs and exoplanets. The $378,481 award, with a project period from September 1,...
This $410,294 National Science Foundation project grant funds an undergraduate group research project led by the University of Arizona to conduct large-scale mapping of filaments and cores in nearby molecular clouds. The project aligns with the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of advancing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems in these fields. Specifically, the grant supports using the Arizona Radio Observatory 12m telescope to map the Taurus and Aquila...
