The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $328,865 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to conduct research under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The goal of the research is to improve understanding of the mechanisms of accretion onto supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) through echo mapping and radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations....
The National Science Foundation awarded a $153,355 Project Grant to the University of Alaska Anchorage under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance the understanding of the relationship between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The 3-year award will support a comprehensive study of the regions surrounding black holes in a large sample of nearby active galactic nuclei. Key activities include measuring the distribution and motions of molecular,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant for $631,159, awarded to the University of Toledo effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2028, will conduct research to directly test black hole accretion rate prescriptions used in computer simulations of galaxy formation and evolution. The project will leverage state-of-the-art near-infrared adaptive optics-assisted integral field spectroscopy and long-baseline interferometry using the NSF's...
This $136,184 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, will support a collaborative research project to study black hole-driven turbulence in massive galactic systems. The research team will directly evaluate the viability of this turbulence mechanism as a feedback process that regulates star formation in galaxies. The project will leverage multi-wavelength observations...
This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $500,133 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. Through this grant, the research team will conduct a systematic study of the diverse outflows that occur during tidal disruption events, when a star is scattered into the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. The researchers will use radio and millimeter observations to track the evolution of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant of $154,664 awarded under the Integrative Activities program will fund research into radio emissions from intermediate mass black holes at the University of Nevada, Reno from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The university researchers will investigate differences in radio emissions between rapidly and weakly accreting intermediate mass black holes using radio data from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in conjunction with...
This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $527,050 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst to establish coherent frameworks for understanding massive galaxy formation and promote inclusive astronomy. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the investigator will use data from the Large Millimeter Telescope and Subaru Telescope to map the distribution of galaxies and molecular gas throughout...
This three-year, $315,732 National Science Foundation project grant will support the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES) to map gas flows and star formation across the entire central molecular zone of the Milky Way galaxy. Led by researchers at the University of Kansas, ACES will utilize the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to conduct the first comprehensive measurement of mass flows in a galaxy nucleus. Products will include a catalog of extended and compact gas and protostellar...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $338,029 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to study the time variability and duty cycle of active galactic nuclei during the quenching phase of galaxy evolution. The 3-year research project will utilize optical and radio observations to investigate how supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies impact the cessation of star formation. The goal is to provide crucial context for understanding the...
