This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $526,998 to Yale University to conduct research on the star formation process. The primary objectives are to: Use millimeter-wave observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to probe the structure and evolution of star-forming regions, specifically examining how material is funneled from...
This $578,577 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on August 15, 2023. The award supports collaborative research to spatially resolve the mechanisms driving star formation quenching in galaxies using molecular gas observations. The project will leverage recently completed galaxy surveys and state-of-the-art simulations to investigate whether the cessation of star...
This $557,211 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports research to better understand the multi-phase, multi-scale circumgalactic medium (CGM) - the diffuse gas surrounding galaxies. The principal investigator will conduct high-resolution computer simulations to study the physics underlying the formation, evolution, and properties of galactic atmospheres and clouds, with a focus on turbulent fragmentation, magnetic field effects,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PROTOCOMETS TO PROTOPLANETS: CONNECTING THE CHEMICAL ECOSYSTEMS OF PLANET-FORMING DISKS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM", will support research to characterize the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in disks surrounding new-born stars. The $213,635 award, effective September 15, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will utilize data from ground-based observatories like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Keck...
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 $546,489 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at New Mexico State University (NMSU) aimed at using extended emission line nebulae to study the variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over long timescales of 10,000 to 100,000 years. The research program has two key components: (1) developing an efficient search algorithm to...
This $228,609 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research into understanding high-mass star formation through observations of cold, dense gas cores using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the research team will conduct a systematic survey of potential starless, high-mass gas clumps within 5 kiloparsecs of Earth to reveal any embedded high-mass cores. Detailed ALMA observations will deliver...
This $460,851 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research project titled "MAUNA: Multiphase Analysis of (U)LIRG Nuclear Activity". The project will analyze new observations of merging galaxies to better understand the dynamics of gas movement and the impact on galaxy evolution. The research will leverage new Keck and JWST integral-field spectroscopic observations to study the hot ionized and warm...
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory will receive $190,606 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences to conduct the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey. The Observatory will lead critical components of the Survey to map gas flows and star formation across the entire central region of the Milky Way galaxy, known as the Central Molecular Zone. Products will include a catalog of extended and compact gas and protostellar mass components in the Zone, as...
This $153,169 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at Saint Martins University that aims to study the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The research team, comprising investigators from four primarily undergraduate institutions, will obtain detailed observations of 3,000 stars to measure their...
