- This $348,961 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to understand how dust in distant galaxies affects our view of the cosmos. The 2-year project from April 2025 to August 2026 will use multiple telescopes to study how dust interacts with light from distant stars, making them appear dimmer. This impacts our understanding of how galaxies...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,796 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of candidate dusty starburst galaxies in the early universe. The main objectives are to determine accurate redshifts and positions, and define a statistically significant sample of galaxies at z > 6. This will involve deep optical and near-infrared follow-up observations to...
- 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,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $503,884 Project Grant to the Carnegie Institution Of Washington, doing business as Carnegie Institution For Science, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The goal of this 3-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, is to determine the composition of rocky material orbiting other stars by observing and modeling the dust in circumstellar disks. The project will leverage the new MAGAO-X...
- 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 $498,213 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a research project at Cornell University to investigate the interplay between galactic winds and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding galaxies. The project aims to provide new insights into how galaxies evolve over time by combining advanced computer simulations with observational data, particularly...
- This Project Grant award of $118,776 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research to connect galaxies to dark matter halos using data from the Merian survey of 100,000 dwarf galaxies. The project aims to characterize the baryon and dark matter content of these dwarf galaxies through a united theory and observational approach. Key activities include measuring the composition and dark matter proportions of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $481,026 to the University of Arizona to use artificial intelligence (AI) to detect a large sample of the faintest and smallest galaxies in the universe. The research team will analyze vast datasets from advanced astronomical observatories, including the Rubin Telescope, to discover a statistically significant sample of elusive distant dwarf galaxies. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023 for $242,524, supports collaborative research by the University of Arizona aimed at exploring the composition of exoplanetary systems through observations and modeling of dusty circumstellar disks around other stars. The research goal is to determine the composition of rocky material orbiting other stars by analyzing the dust released from colliding rocks, which reflects and...
- This $338,402 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of the award is to develop a comprehensive model that predicts the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way as a function of dark matter properties and early universe dynamics. This will enable near-field measurements of small-scale matter clustering, yielding...
