This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate the evolution of the Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way. The project aims to map the Magellanic Clouds and their periphery to search for evidence of past interactions between the clouds or with smaller accreted systems. By...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $273,175 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Magellanic Dwarfs as a Key Laboratory for Dwarf Galaxy Formation" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant funding will support research collaborations examining dwarf galaxies in the Magellanic Clouds to advance understanding of dwarf galaxy...
This $153,169 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at Saint Martins University that aims to study the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The research team, comprising investigators from four primarily undergraduate institutions, will obtain detailed observations of 3,000 stars to measure their...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $260,250 funds research to quantify the systematic errors in measurements of dark matter mass in dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way. The research aims to understand the amount of dark matter in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the largest of the small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, and determine how well dark matter can be measured in...
This three-year, $357,003 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support continued investigations of nearby dwarf galaxies as well as expanded studies of dwarf galaxies in galaxy groups within a radius of five million parsecs. Key deliverables include mapping dark matter halos within Milky Way satellites via multi-epoch spectroscopy; analyzing detailed chemical abundance patterns at low metallicities characteristic of...
This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $527,050 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst to establish coherent frameworks for understanding massive galaxy formation and promote inclusive astronomy. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the investigator will use data from the Large Millimeter Telescope and Subaru Telescope to map the distribution of galaxies and molecular gas throughout...
This $338,402 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of the award is to develop a comprehensive model that predicts the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way as a function of dark matter properties and early universe dynamics. This will enable near-field measurements of small-scale matter clustering, yielding...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $105,646, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a collaborative research project led by Seattle University. The research aims to confirm the origins of stars in the Milky Way's metal-poor bulge by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of candidate globular cluster tidal debris stars. The project will involve obtaining detailed observations of...
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 $206,240 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research and educational activities to advance understanding of galaxy formation and evolution processes through multi-wavelength studies of circumgalactic media (CGM). Specifically, the University of Colorado researchers will (1) use machine learning to interpret new X-ray data in light of hydrodynamical simulations to constrain CGM physics, (2) explore using radio and fast radio...
