This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to investigate the evolution of the Magellanic Clouds, two small dwarf galaxies that orbit the Milky Way. The $416,880 award to Montana State University will be used to map the kinematic and chemical abundance patterns across the Magellanic Clouds in order to identify evidence of past interactions and accretion of smaller...
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 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 $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 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 $546,489 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at New Mexico State University (NMSU) aimed at using extended emission line nebulae to study the variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over long timescales of 10,000 to 100,000 years. The research program has two key components: (1) developing an efficient search algorithm to...
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 Project Grant award, valued at $481,791.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award aims to investigate the physical origin of satellite planes around the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies, which do not yet have a compelling explanation within the current Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of galaxy formation. The key objectives of this 3-year project include: 1) Developing models...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $159,547 supports a collaborative research effort to study the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The research aims to determine the merger rates of these black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations, investigate black hole growth during the peak period of activity, and map the complete history of black hole accretion. The...
This $557,211 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports research to better understand the multi-phase, multi-scale circumgalactic medium (CGM) - the diffuse gas surrounding galaxies. The principal investigator will conduct high-resolution computer simulations to study the physics underlying the formation, evolution, and properties of galactic atmospheres and clouds, with a focus on turbulent fragmentation, magnetic field effects,...
