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 three-year, $130,077 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund collaborative research to better understand galaxy cluster merger dynamics. The Smithsonian Institution Astrophysical Observatory will analyze observational data and hydrodynamical simulations of ten galaxy clusters to map the projected total mass density, intracluster medium emissivity and temperature,...
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 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) 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $367,885 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct collaborative research on the physical properties of star-forming galaxies across cosmic time. The award, supported under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to establish a better understanding of how to translate the spectral emission lines of galaxies into their underlying physical...
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 $526,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research to better understand the star formation process. The principal investigator will use the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to observe dense gas surrounding newly forming stars at different stages of development. The project aims to determine how material flows from molecular clouds into the inner regions around protostars, as well as how protostellar...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences award of $375,211 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. aims to better understand how a galaxy's gas supply and star formation activity are altered as it moves through the cosmic web to cluster centers. The researchers will quantify environmental quenching of star formation by measuring the relative extent of the star-forming and stellar disks for 14,000 nearby galaxies - a factor of 20 increase over previous...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $262,273.00 and granted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project to study galaxies that have recently ceased their star formation. The research team, led by Texas A&M University, will develop new methods to identify these "post-starburst" galaxies and use multi-wavelength data to measure their dust, gas, and active galactic...
