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 three-year, $153,949 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to create a unique catalog of open star clusters in the Milky Way disk through observations and analysis. The University of Utah will observe nearly all suitable open star clusters using spectroscopy from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V and astrometry from the Gaia satellite. Additional high-resolution spectroscopy will measure abundances of...
This $110,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a postdoctoral fellowship for Sabrina Marbut Appel at the American Museum of Natural History. The project will study how stars form from dense clouds of interstellar gas, with a focus on understanding the impact of protostellar jets produced by newly forming stars on star cluster formation and evolution. Appel will conduct numerical...
