The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $289,379 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, doing business as Princeton University, for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. This award 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, this award will support collaborative research to constrain...
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 $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,...
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,...
This Project Grant award of $416,302.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between Princeton University and Dartmouth College to explore the persistence and dispersion of self-generated magnetic fields in turbulent astrophysical plasmas. The project will use theoretical and numerical modeling approaches to understand how dynamically important cosmic magnetic fields are generated,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $652,708 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This 3-year grant supports advanced computer simulations that model the acceleration of particles at the microscopic level to study the processes that can accelerate ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in active galactic...
This $270,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds research at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, to be conducted from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. Professor Matias Zaldarriaga will improve theoretical understanding of the physical processes responsible for cosmological structure formation, and develop new modeling and analysis tools for galaxy surveys to advance constraints on the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $329,659 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on the formation of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The research aims to understand the physics behind the transition from early, non-disk galaxies to the disk-shaped galaxies we observe today, including the roles of galaxy potentials, interstellar medium evolution, and other...
This $489,534 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a comprehensive study of core formation and core dynamics in galaxies by a team of researchers from the United States and Israel. The key objectives of the 3-year research project are to: (1) further develop and test a novel analytical model for studying the response of multi-component gravitational systems to perturbations; and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $598,336 to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to advance hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy evolution and the coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The research aims to overcome limitations of current cosmological simulations by: 1) integrating detailed interstellar medium physics and sub-parsec scale black hole accretion and...
