- This $271,496 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research on dwarf galaxies over cosmic time. The University of Arizona will investigate dwarf galaxy populations within five million parsecs and halfway across the observable universe using wide-field, high-resolution multi-object spectrometers in both hemispheres. An integral field unit spectrograph constructed with prior NSF funding, IFUM, will obtain the first measurements of star formation rates, metallicity,...
- This $391,640 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support research conducted by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to develop advanced galaxy prediction models for the faint and low surface brightness universe. The key focus areas include: Generating predictions for the number, stellar/luminosity function, sizes, and radial distribution of satellite galaxies...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded $332,168 to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct collaborative research on dwarf galaxy composition and dark matter distribution. Commencing September 1, 2025, and concluding August 31, 2028, this three-year project will analyze a dataset of 100,000 dwarf galaxies from the Merian Survey to characterize their...
- This $338,402 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of the award is to develop a comprehensive model that predicts the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way as a function of dark matter properties and early universe dynamics. This will enable near-field measurements of small-scale matter clustering, yielding...
- This $481,026 collaborative research award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a three-year project (September 1, 2025 – August 31, 2028) at the University of Arizona to develop and deploy artificial intelligence-powered tools for detecting faint dwarf galaxies in large astronomical datasets. The primary deliverable is an innovative convolutional neural network image...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $329,659 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on the formation of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The research aims to understand the physics behind the transition from early, non-disk galaxies to the disk-shaped galaxies we observe today, including the roles of galaxy potentials, interstellar medium evolution, and other...
