- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $560,085 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to apply an artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) model called MORPHEUS to analyze and classify astronomical objects in large-scale, public astronomical imaging surveys. The goals of this 3-year project are to further the understanding of the connection between galaxy morphology and the underlying physics of galaxy formation, as...
- This $457,976 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to develop a novel framework for constraining models of baryonic feedback in the universe. The research team at the University of Chicago will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to data from cosmic microwave background and galaxy surveys to gain insights into the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant, CFDA #47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, is funding Drexel University to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems that will optimize the search for electromagnetic signals accompanying gravitational wave events detected by advanced detectors. The $341,248 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to create an AI agent that can adaptively learn to make the best...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $463,511 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support collaborative research titled "AI-Enhanced Exascale Simulations of the Earliest Galaxies" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The University will utilize artificial intelligence and high-performance computing to conduct exascale simulations...
- This $599,199 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund development of tools and infrastructure to characterize discoveries from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Led by Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc., the team will build software to model populations of exoplanets, stars, and black holes detected by the LSST survey in real time. This includes algorithms to prioritize microlensing events...
- 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 $103,360 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund collaborative research to use artificial intelligence (AI) to detect a large sample of the faintest and smallest galaxies in the universe. The research team will analyze data from advanced astronomical observatories, including the Rubin Telescope, to discover a statistical sample of elusive distant dwarf galaxies using a convolutional neural network image classifier. The program will also characterize the newly discovered systems with follow-up observations and put the findings into context with other dwarf galaxies to illuminate aspects of small-scale galaxy formation. Additionally, the team will create a series of video blogs to engage the public, from middle schoolers to general audiences, in explaining the process of scientific discovery related to this research. The project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, includes significant contributions to the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time.
