This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award provides $262,204 to the University of Colorado to conduct collaborative research on galaxies that have rapidly reduced their star formation rates over the last billion years. The research team will use a variety of telescopic data to measure dust, gas, and active galactic nucleus properties of these "post-starburst" galaxies to understand the underlying causes of their rapid star formation quenching. The project will also support undergraduate student research experiences at Texas A&M University and the University of Colorado Boulder. This award, running from September 2024 through August 2027, aims to advance scientific knowledge about galaxy evolution and provide valuable training opportunities for the next generation of astrophysicists.
