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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $157,630 CAREER grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) to conduct research and education activities related to models of planet formation and evolution. The project aims to use sophisticated computer modeling techniques to study the process of protoplanet accretion in the early solar system and reassess the development of the giant planets and Kuiper Belt. Complementary...
The University of Iowa received a $343,595 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 funds a COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF NEARBY GALAXY MERGERS WITH A MASSIVE INTEGRAL-FIELD SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The University of Iowa will conduct research using a massive integral-field spectroscopic survey to study galaxy...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $230,625 to support a research project entitled "LEAPS-MPS: UNVEILING THE ROLE OF A GALAXY'S STRUCTURE WITH BESPOKE NUMERICAL MODELS." The project, led by the principal investigator at the University Enterprises, Inc. (doing business as Sacramento State Sponsored Research), will use computer simulations to investigate how the shape and dynamics of...
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 award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $329,659 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on the formation of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The research aims to understand the physics behind the transition from early, non-disk galaxies to the disk-shaped galaxies we observe today, including the roles of galaxy potentials, interstellar medium evolution, and other...
This $272,810 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at the University of Minnesota to advance understanding of galaxy cluster physics and evolution. Over the two-year period from September 2022 to August 2025, the university will conduct high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic computer simulations to model the interaction of radio jets and intracluster medium, as...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $733,325 Project Grant to Yale University through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support an extended suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations to resolve the filaments and intergalactic medium (IGM) and accurately model their evolution. This research aims to provide a detailed understanding of how gas accretion from the cosmic web fuels star formation and drives the evolution of galaxies,...
