This $434,573 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences will support a collaborative research program at Pennsylvania State University to trace cosmic structures using galaxies, quasars, and gas at "cosmic noon" - the period ~10 billion years in the past when the universe was only about 1/4 its present size and key processes like star formation and black hole activity peaked. The researchers will combine data from several large...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award provides $251,928 to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on combining galaxy and cosmic microwave background surveys to obtain precise and robust constraints on cosmology - the distribution of matter throughout the universe. The research team will analyze complementary measurements of galaxy positions, gravitational lensing of galaxies, gravitational lensing...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of advanced computer simulations to enhance the understanding of galaxy evolution, supermassive black holes, and the formation of the universe. The $598,336 award will fund research over a 5-year period from September 2025 to August 2030. Key objectives include: (1) integrating detailed interstellar medium physics with new simulation...
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...
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, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), will support a detailed characterization of 25 quasars from the early universe. The $356,087 award, granted on December 1, 2024, will enable the researchers to analyze a legacy multi-wavelength dataset collected from the world's largest telescopes, covering a wavelength range from X-ray to radio. This effort will advance the understanding...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,796 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of candidate dusty starburst galaxies in the early universe. The main objectives are to determine accurate redshifts and positions, and define a statistically significant sample of galaxies at z > 6. This will involve deep optical and near-infrared follow-up observations to...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is providing $270,310 from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026 to conduct collaborative research on the physics and electromagnetic counterparts of neutrino blazars. The investigators will use advanced computer simulations to study these powerful cosmic events where jets shoot out from the vicinity of supermassive black holes, in order to unlock the secrets of these...
