- This $186,788 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support a collaborative research project titled "Connecting Galaxies to Halos with the Marvelous Merian Dwarfs." The principal investigators will use a new dataset of 100,000 dwarf galaxies to measure their composition and proportion of dark matter, stars, and gas. Advanced computer models and simulations will be used to explain the physical properties of these...
- This $332,168 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund a collaborative research program to characterize the baryon and dark matter content of massive dwarf galaxies. The program will leverage the Merian Survey, which is identifying 100,000 well-characterized massive dwarf galaxies, to study the relationship between galaxy properties and dark matter halo mass. Key objectives include matching the internal kinematics of galaxies...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $398,629 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports collaborative research to systematically predict dynamical signatures of new dark matter physics in galaxies. The researchers will implement various dark matter models in simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and smaller dwarfs, creating a set of...
- 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...
