Project Grant 2510739
- This federal Project Grant award of $144,912 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) will fund collaborative research to analyze data from the NSF-funded Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to investigate the diversity of atomic hydrogen depletion times in galaxies. The research aims to understand how factors such as ionization sources, diffuse versus dense hydrogen ratios,...
- This $346,372 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to better understand the interaction between interstellar gas, supernova explosions, and massive young stars in nearby galaxies. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will support observation, processing, and analysis associated with the Local Group L-Band Survey, an 1,800-hour Very Large Array survey of six northern Local Group galaxies including Andromeda. The survey will...
- 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 $578,577 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on August 15, 2023. The award supports collaborative research to spatially resolve the mechanisms driving star formation quenching in galaxies using molecular gas observations. The project will leverage recently completed galaxy surveys and state-of-the-art simulations to investigate whether the cessation of star...
- 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 five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $527,050 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst to establish coherent frameworks for understanding massive galaxy formation and promote inclusive astronomy. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the investigator will use data from the Large Millimeter Telescope and Subaru Telescope to map the distribution of galaxies and molecular gas throughout...
- This $357,765 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support research to study the origin and evolution of magnetic fields in galaxies. The project will use data from the NSF-funded Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observatory to observe star-forming galaxies at high redshift and combine these observations with numerical simulations. This will enable the research team to obtain analytical...
- 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 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $420,240 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Merced to support a collaborative research project investigating how star formation is suppressed (quenched) in galaxies residing in distant massive clusters. The project will apply new analysis techniques to images from the Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments (GOGREEN) survey to determine the spatial...
This Project Grant award for $207,818 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research to understand the extreme diversity of atomic hydrogen depletion times in galaxies. The principal investigators will analyze data from the NSF-funded Green Bank Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array to measure the amounts of hydrogen gas in a broad sample of galaxies. They will test how the depletion timescales of these gas reservoirs depend on other galaxy properties, placing important constraints on galaxy growth. The research will also train undergraduate students in radio astronomy techniques. No sub-awards are planned for this project, which is scheduled to run from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028.
