This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to constrain the carbon monoxide (CO) and neutral hydrogen (HI) cross power spectrum during the Epoch of Reionization. The $160,448 award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland. The project will duplicate an existing pathfinder receiver and conduct a survey of...
This Project Grant award, valued at $169,693, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland to study the Cosmic Microwave Background and the epoch of reionization using carbon monoxide (CO) line intensity mapping. The research team will work with the Caltech...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $1,151,085 to Principal Investigator Cleary and California Institute of Technology to complete the Cosmic Mapping Array Pathfinder Survey. The project will use radio telescope line intensity mapping techniques to obtain low-resolution images summing the radio emission from carbon monoxide molecules in many galaxies during the epoch of galaxy assembly between...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $199,461 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This 3-year grant supports the Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), an imaging spectrometer that will observe on the Arizona Radio Observatory 12-meter radio telescope at Kitt Peak. The TIME instrument will map large portions of the sky to probe the early...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $269,690 to support research and education activities under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). A collaboration between the University of Nevada, University of California Los Angeles, and Arizona State University will develop advanced galaxy modeling tools and conduct cross-correlation analyses to maximize scientific return from upcoming telescopes studying the epoch of...
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $625,319 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on October 1, 2021 to fund the research project "A NEW PROBE OF THE MAGNETIC INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM" through September 30, 2024. Under this award, Caltech researchers will develop new techniques to study the magnetic properties of gas and dust between star systems, known as the interstellar medium. The work supports the goals of...
This three-year, $263,272 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research to better understand galaxy cluster mergers through observational data and advanced hydrodynamical simulations of ten galaxy clusters. The California Institute of Technology will conduct deep, multi-probe observational studies of the selected clusters to map their total mass density, intracluster...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $415,771 in funding to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to study the dynamics of gas in interacting and merging galaxies. The key objectives are to trace the movement of gas as it traverses the galactic ecosystem, measure outflowing gas masses and energetics, and compare these to predictions from the latest feedback models. The award will...
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was awarded a $342,554 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant will fund collaborative research titled "Constraining the Uncertain Physics of Galaxy Formation: Cosmic Rays, Black Holes, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award provides $251,928 to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on combining galaxy and cosmic microwave background surveys to obtain precise and robust constraints on cosmology - the distribution of matter throughout the universe. The research team will analyze complementary measurements of galaxy positions, gravitational lensing of galaxies, gravitational lensing...
