The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Cornell University a $498,213 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. This 3-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, will support research to understand how galactic winds and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding galaxies interact and regulate galaxy evolution. The project will use advanced computer simulations to study these processes, combining the simulations with observational data to provide new insights. This work aims to address the discrepancy between current galaxy formation models and observational data on galactic wind outflow rates. The project will involve students, helping to train the next generation of scientists while improving our understanding of the universe.
