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...
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 $522,357 National Science Foundation project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at the University of California, Merced to simulate the life cycle of star clusters from birth to death within a cosmological galactic context from September 2021 through August 2024. Key products include data analysis and publications on identifying and characterizing spiral arms in galaxies. A $25,000 subaward to Bryn Mawr College supports coordination...
This $120,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports fundamental research on gravitational astrophysics and computational methods to advance scientific understanding of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The award will fund a series of research projects at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) focused on developing new...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is funding the development of novel computational methods for modeling astrophysical flows with self-gravity. The $189,999 award to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will support a collaborative research effort to design arbitrary-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods that preserve fundamental properties of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award provides $180,000.00 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The primary goal of the project is to develop novel numerical simulations and data-driven models to predict gravitational wave signals from mergers of black holes and neutron stars. This research will test Einstein's general relativity under extreme conditions and help maximize...
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 $489,534 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a comprehensive study of core formation and core dynamics in galaxies by a team of researchers from the United States and Israel. The key objectives of the 3-year research project are to: (1) further develop and test a novel analytical model for studying the response of multi-component gravitational systems to perturbations; and...
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,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $169,884 to the University of Virginia to conduct collaborative research on discriminating between galactic feedback models using next-generation observations. The project will incorporate an existing stellar feedback model (SMUGGLE) into the AREPO cosmological simulation code to self-consistently produce thousands of simulated galaxies that can be compared...
