- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $733,325 Project Grant to Yale University through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support an extended suite of cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations to resolve the filaments and intergalactic medium (IGM) and accurately model their evolution. This research aims to provide a detailed understanding of how gas accretion from the cosmic web fuels star formation and drives the evolution of galaxies,...
- 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 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $262,204 to study galaxies that recently stopped forming stars. The award aims to understand why some galaxies rapidly quench their star formation. The research team at the University of Colorado Boulder will use a wide range of telescope data to measure dust, gas, and active galactic nuclei in 50 post-starburst galaxies that quenched...
- 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...
- 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 National Science Foundation award provides $161,052 to the University of Massachusetts under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to develop advanced hydrodynamic galaxy simulation software to study the complex interplay between stellar winds and the circumgalactic medium surrounding massive galaxies. Researchers will incorporate a subgrid wind model into an existing...
This federal Project Grant award for $346,321 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports collaborative research between the University of Colorado at Boulder and Yale University to study the properties of galaxies in groups using computer simulations and machine learning methods. The goal is to better understand the processes of star formation, stellar feedback, chemical enrichment, and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback within galaxies in groups, in order to use them as reliable signposts for precision cosmology. The research involves using nearly 2,000 state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to create synthetic X-ray observations and light cone simulations probing galaxy groups out to a redshift of 2. This work aims to determine why scaling relations based on galaxy clusters appear to break in the group regime and precisely quantify baryonic feedback effects on cosmological measurements. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
