This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $322,751 to the University of Illinois to develop and apply new techniques for measuring the motions of faint stars using ground-based survey telescopes. The investigators will measure the astrometric positions of stars in hundreds of thousands of images collected by the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the NSF's 4-meter Blanco telescope. This data will enable...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $291,840 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports collaborative research to develop and apply new techniques for precisely measuring the motions of faint stars using ground-based survey telescopes, including the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the NSF's 4-meter Blanco Telescope. The research aims to provide the most accurate measurements of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $465,884 project grant to Carnegie Mellon University to carry out an observational campaign of astronomical transient events using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). The goal is to discover new electromagnetic counterparts to mergers of binary neutron stars and neutron star-black hole mergers, as well as to study the origin of gravitational wave sources and produce new measurements of the Hubble...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $622,334 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct collaborative research on dark matter physics and its implications for galaxy formation. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: (1) new public software modules implementing different dark matter particle models...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $603,824 Project Grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The 3-year grant, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will support a team of scientists led by the University of Pennsylvania to use new high-resolution data from the NSF-funded Atacama...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Drexel University to measure the mass distribution of dark matter in the universe. The $359,436 award, active from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, will enable the research team to analyze distortions in the shapes of approximately 100 million galaxies observed through the Dark Energy Survey. By interpreting these "cosmic flexion"...
This Project Grant award of $605,057 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by Professor Blazek's team at Northeastern University. The research aims to advance the scientific understanding of dark energy and dark matter through improved modeling and analysis of galaxy data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Key focus areas include determining galaxy formation processes,...
This $363,623 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research effort between the City University of New York Queens College and Penn State Scranton. The primary objective is to develop and apply a new "seismic technique" that combines precision measurements of pulsating white dwarf stars with Gaia parallax data to accurately determine their masses and effective...
The University of Chicago received a $366,748 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research on cosmic shear measurements on extremely large scales using the Dark Energy Camera. This award falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the national...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $438,078 Project Grant to New York University (NYU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the development of a new statistical method to quantify the relationship between dark matter and the observable galaxies in the universe. The researchers will apply this technique to analyze data from the Bright Galaxy Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)....
