- This $457,396 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund collaborative research to create computer models of the earliest galaxies and supermassive black holes in the universe. The research aims to better explain recent observations of distant, massive galaxies that current models cannot fully account for. Through advanced simulations using the ENZO-E code, the project will investigate the...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to investigate dark matter, the largest and most mysterious component of galaxies. The $313,105 award, spanning September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a team of researchers from the University of North Carolina, University of Pennsylvania, and Northwestern University to conduct advanced computer simulations of galaxy formation and stellar...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $159,547 supports a collaborative research effort to study the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The research aims to determine the merger rates of these black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations, investigate black hole growth during the peak period of activity, and map the complete history of black hole accretion. The...
- 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 $517,162 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will enable researchers at the University of Colorado to conduct a comprehensive study on the formation and evolution of pairs of supermassive black holes in the centers of large galaxies. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine how these supermassive black hole pairs evolve and grow in conjunction with their host galaxies, 2) Investigate the impact of galaxy...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $652,781 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Virginia (UVA) to conduct research on the formation and growth of supermassive black holes. The key objectives of the project are to: Implement novel theoretical models to better understand the origin of supermassive black holes, which is a major gap in our understanding of early galaxy assembly. This involves building a multi-scale...
- 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...
