This $249,963 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to study planet formation by characterizing the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in protoplanetary disks surrounding new-born stars. The research team will use infrared spectroscopy and millimeter imaging from world-class ground-based observatories to probe the CO chemistry in both the inner planet-forming region and the outer...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PROTOCOMETS TO PROTOPLANETS: CONNECTING THE CHEMICAL ECOSYSTEMS OF PLANET-FORMING DISKS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM", will support research to characterize the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in disks surrounding new-born stars. The $213,635 award, effective September 15, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will utilize data from ground-based observatories like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Keck...
This $578,577 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on August 15, 2023. The award supports collaborative research to spatially resolve the mechanisms driving star formation quenching in galaxies using molecular gas observations. The project will leverage recently completed galaxy surveys and state-of-the-art simulations to investigate whether the cessation of star...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $420,240 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Merced to support a collaborative research project investigating how star formation is suppressed (quenched) in galaxies residing in distant massive clusters. The project will apply new analysis techniques to images from the Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments (GOGREEN) survey to determine the spatial...
This $507,210 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports a coordinated experimental, theoretical, and observational study led by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to advance the understanding of complex carbon chemistry in interstellar space. The key objectives are to: 1) Identify new organic molecules and determine the chemical pathways that...
This Project Grant award, valued at $169,693, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland to study the Cosmic Microwave Background and the epoch of reionization using carbon monoxide (CO) line intensity mapping. The research team will work with the Caltech...
This $396,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports observational and laboratory studies of the evolution of circumstellar material from late-stage stellar evolution. The primary objectives are to: 1) Conduct a broadband millimeter-wave survey to analyze the carbon budget and isotope ratios in the carbon-rich envelope of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC+10216; 2) Perform laboratory measurements of the rotational...
This $502,990 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research by The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to develop novel tools and methodologies for analyzing data on the interstellar medium (ISM) - the gas, dust, and magnetic fields between stars. The research aims to generate a new understanding of the physical processes shaping the ISM, which can obscure observations of the...
This $348,961 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support research by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to investigate how dust in distant galaxies affects our understanding of cosmic evolution. The project will use multiple telescopes to study the impact of dust on observations of early galaxies, which contained more dust that alters our view of astronomical objects. In addition, the...
This $505,312 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on near-infrared spectroscopy of distant galaxies using a new photonic OH suppression filter technology. The University of Maryland, College Park is the primary awardee and will utilize the Lowell Discovery Telescope to conduct observations of transient events like gamma-ray bursts. The project...
