This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $348,318 to Purdue University to trace cosmic structures with galaxies, quasars, and gas at "cosmic noon" - approximately 10 billion years in the past when the Universe was one-quarter its current size and star formation and black hole activity peaked. The 3-year project will: Confirm cosmic structures detected by the One-Hundred-Square-Degrees in...
This three-year, $402,361 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the ODIN survey to advance understanding of galaxy evolution. Led by researchers at Purdue University with collaboration from Rutgers University, the ODIN survey will observe over 100,000 distant galaxies using the 4-meter Blanco telescope. Analyzing properties like mass, star formation rates, and clustering...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $414,595 in funding to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The award supports a research program led by the Principal Investigator to study the long-term growth of supermassive black holes and their relationship to host galaxy properties and cosmic environment. The research will utilize a large sample of 1.3...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $429,822 Project Grant to The Pennsylvania State University for the project "Cosmology with the Galaxy Clustering Measurement of the HETDEX Survey." This 3-year grant, running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will support research to measure the density of dark energy in the early universe and study the physics that generated the initial seeds for the observed large-scale structure of the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $234,319 to Penn State University from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research between Penn State University and Vanderbilt University to conduct the benchmark measurement of quasar spectroscopic variability and implications for supermassive black hole binaries and changing-look...
This $539,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support research into the unexpectedly high number of bright, rapidly star-forming galaxies observed at the cosmic dawn. The award recipient, Princeton University, will conduct simulations and analytical modeling to understand the physical conditions that could explain these observations, particularly in the context of massive dark matter halos at high redshift. The research aims...
The Pennsylvania State University received a $317,977 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The project, titled "THE FINAL STEP: ESTABLISHING THE RELATIONS BETWEEN BLACK-HOLE GROWTH AND HOST-GALAXY PROPERTIES DURING THE LAST HALF OF COSMIC TIME," aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences by increasing understanding of major problems...
This $295,591 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research at The Pennsylvania State University to develop two new methods for measuring precise extragalactic distances using integral field spectroscopy. The goal is to help address the current "Hubble tension" discrepancy between the expansion rate of the universe measured locally versus inferred from early universe physics. The Penn State team will analyze existing and new...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $603,824 Project Grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The 3-year grant, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will support a team of scientists led by the University of Pennsylvania to use new high-resolution data from the NSF-funded Atacama...
This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
