This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $305,225 to support research into the evolution of gas in protoplanetary disks under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The University of Arizona will lead efforts to analyze deep observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) of a sample of protoplanetary disks spanning typical lifetimes from 0.1-10 million years. Researchers will measure gas...
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,...
This $546,024 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Michigan State University (MSU) on the gravitational collapse of pebble clouds to form planetesimals - the precursors to planets. The project aims to develop a new hybrid N-body model to accurately simulate this collapse process and predict the properties of the resulting planetesimals, such as...
