The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $633,401 Project Grant titled "ALL-SKY PRECISE STELLAR AGES FOR GALACTIC AND STELLAR ARCHAEOLOGY" to The Johns Hopkins University. The 3-year grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the research team to calculate precise ages and compositions for hundreds of thousands of "subgiant" stars. This large catalog of high-precision stellar ages and other key...
This $355,665 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research at The Johns Hopkins University to improve characterization of Type IA supernova host galaxy properties. The university will compile an extensive multi-wavelength dataset leveraging existing optical data and upcoming infrared archives to recover star formation histories through non-parametric fitting and determine stellar masses and formation rates for supernova host...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,306 project grant to The Johns Hopkins University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds collaborative research to take a panchromatic view of normal galaxies in the early universe. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing...
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 federal Project Grant award, totaling $105,646, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a collaborative research project led by Seattle University. The research aims to confirm the origins of stars in the Milky Way's metal-poor bulge by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of candidate globular cluster tidal debris stars. The project will involve obtaining detailed observations of...
This $258,736 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team at Rutgers, The State University will enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae, incorporating new infrastructure to identify even younger nearby supernovae. As part of this work, three...
This $325,777 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey capabilities to promptly identify and study new supernovae in nearby galaxies, taking advantage of a network of small telescopes. This will enable the discovery of...
This $244,369 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research to identify and characterize populations of massive stellar binary systems, composed of a black hole or neutron star and a massive star, in nearby low-metallicity dwarf galaxies. The project will use multiwavelength archival data to study these "high mass X-ray binaries" as analogs to similar systems that may have formed in the early universe....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $431,250 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The award period is from June 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The funded research project has three main goals: (i) conduct radio follow-up observations of neutron star-neutron star and neutron star-black hole systems detected by gravitational wave observatories to study the physics of their ejecta and remnants; (ii) investigate...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences has awarded a $644,032 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on reconstructing the early formation history of the Milky Way galaxy. The research, funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will observe the oldest known metal-poor stars in the galaxy using high-resolution spectroscopy. This will allow the investigator to characterize the sites...
