This Project Grant award for $419,979, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports collaborative research to reconstruct primordial density fluctuations using near-field cosmology. The research, conducted by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), will develop a comprehensive model to predict the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way. This model will be used to yield constraints on dark matter...
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...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a three-year, $127,611 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds collaborative research to explore galaxy growth in diverse cosmic environments at redshift 2.5 using Lyman-alpha tomography. This technique maps the distribution of neutral hydrogen gas across large areas of the early universe to study how...
