This $350,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The award will fund a collaborative research project to map the Magellanic Clouds and investigate the fossil evidence of past interactions between these dwarf galaxies and smaller systems they have accreted. The investigators will use cutting-edge observational datasets to analyze the kinematical...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $475,526 to develop a new research and education partnership in astronomy between the University of Colorado at Boulder and Fort Lewis College. Over three years, the award will enable nine Fort Lewis College undergraduates to participate in 10-week summer research internships at CU Boulder's Astrophysics Department and the National Solar Observatory located on campus. The students will develop...
This $120,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports fundamental research on gravitational astrophysics and computational methods to advance scientific understanding of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The award will fund a series of research projects at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) focused on developing new...
This $153,169 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research conducted by a team of investigators from four primarily undergraduate universities. The research aims to confirm which stars in the Milky Way originated from disrupted globular star clusters by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of candidate stars. By determining the location of stripped cluster stars, the...
This Project Grant award of $149,650 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to establish a Rural Community College Astronomy Research Consortium serving two-year colleges in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The key products and services to be delivered include: Recruiting rural two-year college partners to join the consortium, developing student research experience course materials, upgrading the Ball Observatory at Colorado Mountain...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $680,431 Project Grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the FAST and Fortunate for FRB Follow-up (F4) research team to conduct follow-up observations of hundreds of Fast Radio Bursts across the sky. Specifically, the team will acquire, analyze, and disseminate deep, multi-band imaging and spectroscopy of FRB...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $177,881 supports the Fast and Fortunate for FRB Follow-up (F4) team's efforts to conduct follow-up observations and analysis of fast radio bursts (FRBs) through August 2025. As part of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the funding will allow F4 to increase observational impact by an order of magnitude through follow-up of two new FRB surveys. Specifically, the team will acquire, analyze, and disseminate deep imaging...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $449,190 Project Grant to the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc. under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The three-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, will support the "USA SKY PARTNERS" program, which aims to expand access to authentic astronomy research experiences for undergraduate students, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. The program provides...
This National Science Foundation award provides $345,251 to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a framework for interpreting panchromatic observations of galaxy cluster halos. Working with the University of California, Santa Cruz, the awardees will use large cosmological simulations and machine learning techniques to understand the complex covariances of dark matter halo properties as traced by...
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...
