This $179,648 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Arizona. The project aims to explore the role of nature versus nurture in the formation of multiple star systems, in contrast to our own single-star solar system. The research team will use computer models incorporating physics like gravity, turbulence, radiation, and stellar...
This $447,644 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution. The award will support a 5-year research project led by the Principal Investigator to study the lifecycle of gas and young stars in the solar neighborhood. The project will produce three novel observational data products: 3D spatial models of gaseous...
The University of Texas at Austin has been awarded a $112,681 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The goal of this 3-year research project is to better define the relative contributions of the slow (s-) and rapid (r-) neutron-capture processes to the cosmic abundances of elements heavier than the iron-peak elements. The investigators will measure infrared and optical spectra...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $345,849 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant supports collaborative research to study when and how galaxies begin to take the shape of rotating disks, which is the dominant configuration of most galaxies including the Milky Way. The investigators will use advanced simulations to explore the physics underlying galaxy disk formation, tracing the...
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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $449,485 to the University of Virginia from October 2022 through September 2025. The funding supports collaborative research between teams in Virginia and New Mexico to investigate the nature and origin of massive young stars through a combined theoretical and observational approach. Over 100 very young, massive stars will be observed with radio telescopes to develop a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $483,886 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on binary star formation in the Orion Nebula Cluster. The research aims to use advanced techniques like laser frequency comb spectroscopy and adaptive optics to discover a larger population of close binary stars that were previously undetected in this stellar nursery. The findings...
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the "GLOW: FOLLOWING THE PHOSPHORUS: CONSTRAINING THE LOCATION OF HABITABLE WORLDS THROUGH AN ASTRONOMICAL AND PETROLOGICAL LENS" research project at the University of Texas at Austin. The project aims to develop a novel interdisciplinary framework that combines astronomical observations and petrological modeling to better understand the...
This $262,273 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Texas A&M University. The funding will support a collaborative research project titled "A Matter of Timing: Star Formation Suppression Over the Last Half of Cosmic History". The project will study galaxies that have recently undergone a rapid shutdown of star formation, developing methods to identify these "post-starburst"...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023 for $242,524, supports collaborative research by the University of Arizona aimed at exploring the composition of exoplanetary systems through observations and modeling of dusty circumstellar disks around other stars. The research goal is to determine the composition of rocky material orbiting other stars by analyzing the dust released from colliding rocks, which reflects and...
