This $306,464 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will develop "DECIPHER: Deep Computer Vision in the Astrophysics of Planet Formation." The project aims to create a machine learning tool that can detect and measure the mass of exoplanets forming in protoplanetary disks from observational data. This cross-disciplinary effort will leverage advances in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $230,625 to support a research project entitled "LEAPS-MPS: UNVEILING THE ROLE OF A GALAXY'S STRUCTURE WITH BESPOKE NUMERICAL MODELS." The project, led by the principal investigator at the University Enterprises, Inc. (doing business as Sacramento State Sponsored Research), will use computer simulations to investigate how the shape and dynamics of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $598,575 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct collaborative research on planet-forming disks around young stars. The key products and services to be delivered include: Upgrading the CHARA Array interferometer and associated MIRC-X and MYSTIC instruments to measure the temperature and surface density of inner protoplanetary disks around...
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...
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 National Science Foundation project grant of $280,902 supports research at Michigan State University from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The university will undertake optical surveys of unidentified gamma-ray sources using the Southern Astrophysical Research 4.3-meter telescope to discover new millisecond pulsars, which are rapidly rotating neutron stars that may be gaining spin from companion stars. The surveys aim...
This $272,810 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at the University of Minnesota to advance understanding of galaxy cluster physics and evolution. Over the two-year period from September 2022 to August 2025, the university will conduct high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic computer simulations to model the interaction of radio jets and intracluster medium, as...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support a detailed characterization of 25 quasars observed less than one billion years after the Big Bang. The $356,087 award will enable the research team to analyze a legacy multi-wavelength dataset collected from the world's largest telescopes, covering a wavelength range from X-ray to radio. This program will advance the understanding of the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $597,879 to the Regents of the University of Michigan will fund research to discover and study the faintest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in the Solar System using novel computational techniques. The project will leverage the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) survey on the 4-meter Blanco telescope to detect TNOs approximately 2 magnitudes fainter than previous surveys,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $733,325 Project Grant to Yale University through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support an extended suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations to resolve the filaments and intergalactic medium (IGM) and accurately model their evolution. This research aims to provide a detailed understanding of how gas accretion from the cosmic web fuels star formation and drives the evolution of galaxies,...
