This National Science Foundation award provides $161,052 to the University of Massachusetts under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to develop advanced hydrodynamic galaxy simulation software to study the complex interplay between stellar winds and the circumgalactic medium surrounding massive galaxies. Researchers will incorporate a subgrid wind model into an existing...
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,...
This Project Grant award of $356,389.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) will support a high-resolution computer simulation study of the formation and evolution of a massive galaxy. The key objectives are to: Understand how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) form and grow in massive galaxies, and how SMBH feedback leads to quenching of star formation. Investigate the...
This $439,516 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at the University of Washington from September 2022 through August 2025. The project aims to develop a state-of-the-art hydrodynamic galaxy simulation code to study the complex interplay between stellar winds and outflows from star formation with the circumgalactic medium surrounding massive galaxies. Researchers will incorporate a subgrid...
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 award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $329,659 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on the formation of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The research aims to understand the physics behind the transition from early, non-disk galaxies to the disk-shaped galaxies we observe today, including the roles of galaxy potentials, interstellar medium evolution, and other...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $136,184 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a collaborative research study on black hole-driven turbulence in massive galactic systems. The goal is to better understand the "feedback" provided by accreting supermassive black holes and their impact on star formation within galaxies. The research team will use a variety...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $538,767 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) to conduct research under the federal Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The goal of this 3-year project is to address key gaps in understanding the co-evolution of supermassive black holes, galaxies, and gravitational-wave sources in the early universe. Using state-of-the-art cosmological simulations, the researchers will study the impact of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project that aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies. The $588,357 award, effective September 1, 2024, will be utilized by Yale University to pursue three key objectives: 1) determine SMBH merger rates and relate them to gravitational wave observations, 2)...
This $508,212 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the creation of an ambitious simulation suite that will uniformly cover an unprecedented range of dark matter and gravity models. The goal is to enable detailed comparisons between these simulations and observational survey data, potentially ruling out certain models of dark matter and gravity. The simulations will be publicly available to enable...
