- This Project Grant award of $404,960 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to create computer models of the earliest galaxies and supermassive black holes that formed in the universe. The research team will use advanced simulations to investigate the observational signatures of galaxies that have hosted massive black hole seeds, with the goal of explaining recent observations of unexpectedly...
- The University of Connecticut received a $598,336 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop advanced computer simulations that will lead to a better understanding of galaxies, supermassive black holes, and the evolution of the universe. The 5-year research project, which began on September 1, 2025, will focus on two key areas: (1) advancing physically predictive models of galaxies at sub-parsec resolution, and...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $356,389.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund a high-resolution computer simulation study of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies. The key objectives are to: 1) understand how supermassive black holes form and grow within massive galaxies, 2) examine how black hole feedback leads to the quenching of star formation, 3) investigate the structure and evolution...
- This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
- This $136,184 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support a collaborative research project led by the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive study of black hole-driven turbulence in massive galactic systems. The research team will work to directly evaluate the viability of the mechanism by which supermassive black holes inject turbulence into a galaxy's gas supply to prevent the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $269,690 to support research and education activities under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). A collaboration between the University of Nevada, University of California Los Angeles, and Arizona State University will develop advanced galaxy modeling tools and conduct cross-correlation analyses to maximize scientific return from upcoming telescopes studying the epoch of...
- 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 $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports research that leverages the recent detection of gravitational waves to provide new insights into black holes, neutron stars, and the expansion of the universe. The funded research aims to analyze the rapidly growing catalog of gravitational wave sources, which is expected to expand from the current 90 confirmed events to over 300 by 2027. By studying the population...
- This $277,023 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project to develop a new generation of models for gas inflow into black holes with strong magnetic fields. The project aims to fundamentally advance our understanding of supermassive black hole growth, accretion, and feedback on galaxy formation. Key activities include theoretical modeling of strongly magnetized...
- This $545,315 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) will support advanced numerical simulations to study the explosive end of the first generation of stars in the high-redshift universe. The project aims to better understand the origin of chemical elements, including carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, that were synthesized in these early stellar events. The research will explore how phenomena such as...
