This award falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, this award will support collaborative research to constrain...
- This $186,788 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support a collaborative research project titled "Connecting Galaxies to Halos with the Marvelous Merian Dwarfs." The principal investigators will use a new dataset of 100,000 dwarf galaxies to measure their composition and proportion of dark matter, stars, and gas. Advanced computer models and simulations will be used to explain the physical properties of these...
- 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...
- This $338,402 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of the award is to develop a comprehensive model that predicts the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way as a function of dark matter properties and early universe dynamics. This will enable near-field measurements of small-scale matter clustering, yielding...
- This Project Grant award of $118,776 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research to connect galaxies to dark matter halos using data from the Merian survey of 100,000 dwarf galaxies. The project aims to characterize the baryon and dark matter content of these dwarf galaxies through a united theory and observational approach. Key activities include measuring the composition and dark matter proportions of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship award of $330,000 supports a research and education program led by Sal Wanying Fu at Princeton University. The project, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to produce novel insights into the baryon cycle of dwarf galaxies. Key activities include: Conducting observational studies to measure and interpret stellar chemical signatures in dwarf galaxies, using...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $491,479 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The grant, titled "A SEARCH FOR SATELLITES AROUND DWARF HOSTS WITH ELVES-DWARF", is a collaborative effort between researchers at Princeton University and Israel's BSF. The project aims to compile catalogs of groups of low-mass galaxies and specifically identify the extremely low-mass satellite galaxies of dwarf galaxies. The research team will collect imaging data to measure properties such as distances, numbers, sizes, star formation histories, and spatial distributions of these satellite galaxies around their dwarf galaxy hosts. The results will be used to test cold dark matter models and their ability to predict these observed properties. Additionally, the project will recruit formerly incarcerated students to Princeton for summer research experiences, expanding the broader community's access to these new science opportunities. The grant period runs from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028.
