- This $153,169 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at Saint Martins University that aims to study the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The research team, comprising investigators from four primarily undergraduate institutions, will obtain detailed observations of 3,000 stars to measure their...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $105,646, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a collaborative research project led by Seattle University. The research aims to confirm the origins of stars in the Milky Way's metal-poor bulge by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of candidate globular cluster tidal debris stars. The project will involve obtaining detailed observations of...
- This three-year, $153,949 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to create a unique catalog of open star clusters in the Milky Way disk through observations and analysis. The University of Utah will observe nearly all suitable open star clusters using spectroscopy from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V and astrometry from the Gaia satellite. Additional high-resolution spectroscopy will measure abundances of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $457,353 to The Ohio State University supports a program of data analysis and modeling to interpret the elemental abundance patterns of stars in the Milky Way and its dwarf satellite galaxies. The research, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to build a coherent picture of the stellar and galactic-scale phenomena that govern the synthesis of chemical elements. This work will...
- The University of Chicago has been awarded a $459,219 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This 3-year award aims to conduct deep spectroscopy and photometry using the Magellan Telescope to derive metallicities of 50-200 main-sequence turn-off stars in four nearby ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. The goal is to reconstruct the formation histories of these ancient, metal-poor...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will support research to develop more accurate non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) models for analyzing spectra of metal-poor red giant stars. The University of Chicago will receive $424,475 under the award, covering the period from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The investigators will enhance existing stellar spectral analysis tools by implementing non-LTE physics and machine learning...
- The University of Chicago received a $557,317 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences to study the formation and evolution of ultra-faint satellite galaxies surrounding the Milky Way. The project, funded from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026, will use imaging data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey to perform a rigorous census of these elusive galaxies. By combining observational data with cosmological simulations,...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $304,225 to the University of Florida and the University of Chicago from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to advance understanding of stellar formation history through non-local thermodynamic equilibrium modeling of elemental abundances in metal-poor red giant stars. Specifically, the universities will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $291,840 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports collaborative research to develop and apply new techniques for precisely measuring the motions of faint stars using ground-based survey telescopes, including the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the NSF's 4-meter Blanco Telescope. The research aims to provide the most accurate measurements of the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $243,204 to the University of California Santa Cruz to characterize metal-poor stars in the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will fund analysis of over 300 metal-poor star candidates identified in the APOGEE survey data. Follow-up observations will be conducted at Lick and Keck...
