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,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund a $328,320 research project at Princeton University from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The project will conduct a comprehensive theoretical investigation of how the distribution of cosmic rays varies with the dynamical, thermal, and magnetic properties of the interstellar medium, and how cosmic rays impact the dynamics and evolution of galaxies. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $733,325 Project Grant to Yale University through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support an extended suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations to resolve the filaments and intergalactic medium (IGM) and accurately model their evolution. This research aims to provide a detailed understanding of how gas accretion from the cosmic web fuels star formation and drives the evolution of galaxies,...
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $625,319 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on October 1, 2021 to fund the research project "A NEW PROBE OF THE MAGNETIC INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM" through September 30, 2024. Under this award, Caltech researchers will develop new techniques to study the magnetic properties of gas and dust between star systems, known as the interstellar medium. The work supports the goals of...
