This $262,273 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support collaborative research at Texas A&M University and the University of Colorado Boulder. The project, titled "A Matter of Timing: Star Formation Suppression Over the Last Half of Cosmic History," aims to study galaxies that recently ceased their active star formation. The research team will develop methods to identify these "post-starburst" galaxies and use multi-wavelength data to measure their dust, gas, and active galactic nucleus properties. The project will also expand undergraduate research experiences at both universities. This award, running from September 2024 through August 2027, reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and address complex challenges in the astronomical sciences.
