The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $270,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). This 3-year award, effective August 1, 2023, will fund Professor Adrienne Erickcek's research activities to investigate how the smallest dark matter structures can provide insights into the composition and origins of dark matter. The project aims to extend the scope and improve the accuracy of methods...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $260,250 funds research to quantify the systematic errors in measurements of dark matter mass in dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way. The research aims to understand the amount of dark matter in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the largest of the small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, and determine how well dark matter can be measured in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,000 in funding to the University of Texas at Austin over 3 years, from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award will support research to study the nature of dark matter, which accounts for 85% of all matter in the known universe.
