This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $269,690 to support research and education activities under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). A collaboration between the University of Nevada, University of California Los Angeles, and Arizona State University will develop advanced galaxy modeling tools and conduct cross-correlation analyses to maximize scientific return from upcoming telescopes studying the epoch of...
This three-year, $257,211 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and educational outreach related to modeling early galaxy formation and the epoch of reionization. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, the collaborative effort between the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, University of California Los Angeles, and Arizona State University aims to develop advanced modeling tools to maximize scientific return from upcoming telescopes such as the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $512,912 to Arizona State University (ASU) supports a 3-year research program to study the evolution of galaxies in high-redshift clusters. The project will utilize deep observations from the Atacama Large Sub/Millimeter Array (ALMA), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and Very Large Telescope (VLT) to map star formation, measure baryon fractions, evaluate disk stability, and identify quenching...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to study the physical origin of radio emission in radio-quiet quasars and understand how galaxies formed and evolved. The $508,372 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will fund two complementary investigations: a comprehensive multi-band radio and X-ray study of a sample of quasars, and detailed...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $338,029 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to study the time variability and duty cycle of active galactic nuclei during the quenching phase of galaxy evolution. The 3-year research project will utilize optical and radio observations to investigate how supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies impact the cessation of star formation. The goal is to provide crucial context for understanding the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $322,258 will support the Local Group L-Band Survey, a major new 1,800-hour observational survey of six northern Local Group galaxies using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. Conducted under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the survey simultaneously maps the 21-cm hydrogen line and 1-2 GHz radio continuum emission to study interactions between the interstellar medium, star formation, and stellar feedback at an...
Arizona State University was awarded a $646,951 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the collaborative research project "COMMENSAL ALL-SKY IMAGING OF LOW-FREQUENCY TRANSIENTS WITH EPIC" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. Under this award, ASU will conduct research using the Epoch of Reionization Array (ERA) to conduct commensal,...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $320,512 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete work by July 31, 2024. The grant falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Specifically, the University will utilize the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $356,087 to the Regents of the University of Michigan from December 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The award will fund a detailed characterization of 25 distant quasars from the epoch of reionization, less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang. The research aims to advance understanding of the growth of the earliest supermassive black holes, their interactions...
This $523,083 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, will fund research to develop an innovative model of how dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) shine at radio wavelengths. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing a catalog of massive galaxy mergers predicted by cosmological simulations, and calculating the orbital evolution and radio jet power of secondary supermassive black holes in post-merger galaxies....
