The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $199,461 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This 3-year grant supports the Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), an imaging spectrometer that will observe on the Arizona Radio Observatory 12-meter radio telescope at Kitt Peak. The TIME instrument will map large portions of the sky to probe the early...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award supports the Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), an imaging spectrometer that will observe on the Arizona Radio Observatory 12-meter radio telescope at Kitt Peak. TIME will map large portions of the sky to probe the early epochs of the universe by measuring bright ionized carbon emission from galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization and by measuring carbon monoxide during the peak of star formation. The $199,162...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $243,178 to the University of Arizona (UA) to support the Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), an imaging spectrometer project. The TIME instrument will be deployed on the Arizona Radio Observatory 12-meter telescope at Kitt Peak to map large portions of the sky and probe the early epochs of the universe. Specifically, the project will measure bright ionized...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $1,192,635 in funding to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028. The award will support a collaborative research project titled "COSMIC FIZZ - CONSTRAINING THE CO X HI CROSS POWER SPECTRUM AT THE EPOCH OF REIONIZATION". The project aims to use a Carbon Monoxide (CO) line intensity mapping experiment, the CO Mapping Array...
This three-year, four hundred twenty-six thousand seven hundred forty-eight dollar Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research at Cornell University to combine measurements from cosmic microwave background experiments and galaxy clustering surveys to probe the nature of gravity, dark matter, and neutrinos in the universe. Key products will include the highest signal-to-noise pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich measurements to date...

The project, conducted by researchers from the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland, aims to better understand the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project titled "Cosmic Fizz - Constraining the CO x HI Cross Power Spectrum at the Epoch of Reionization." The $160,448 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2028, will fund research by a team from the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland. The project aims to use...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $1,151,085 to Principal Investigator Cleary and California Institute of Technology to complete the Cosmic Mapping Array Pathfinder Survey. The project will use radio telescope line intensity mapping techniques to obtain low-resolution images summing the radio emission from carbon monoxide molecules in many galaxies during the epoch of galaxy assembly between...
This $396,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports observational and laboratory studies of the evolution of circumstellar material from late-stage stellar evolution. The primary objectives are to: 1) Conduct a broadband millimeter-wave survey to analyze the carbon budget and isotope ratios in the carbon-rich envelope of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC+10216; 2) Perform laboratory measurements of the rotational...
This $339,362 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into planetary nebulae through radio telescope observations and modeling by the Rochester Institute of Technology from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The principal investigator will use radio telescope facilities including the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to conduct a comprehensive observation and modeling campaign of key molecular gas tracers in the nearest and best-studied molecule-rich...
