- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $360,589 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System, doing business as the Curators of the University of Missouri, for the "Collaborative Research: The Emergence of Dusty Starbursts in Cosmic History" project. The project aims to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of 629 candidate dusty starburst galaxies at redshifts greater than 6 using the 50-meter Large Millimeter Telescope...
- This $315,112 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to develop new techniques for mapping the universe's large-scale structure using hydrogen intensity measurements from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio telescope. The key objectives are to reduce foreground contamination in the 21cm signals, integrate...
- This $714,580 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to deepen the understanding of horizontal branch (HB) stars, a vital phase in stellar evolution. The primary goal is to apply observations and advanced modeling techniques to probe the internal structure of HB stars, focusing on subdwarf B (SDB) stars. The research team at Missouri State University will measure key properties such as distances, radii, and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $318,016 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund theoretical investigations to advance quantum electrodynamics (QED) and fundamental physics research at the University of Missouri System's Missouri University of Science & Technology. The key focus is to challenge and support ongoing high-precision experiments with atomic hydrogen and related hydrogen-like Rydberg atoms, which are...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $497,792 Project Grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to support research under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant aims to develop advanced machine learning techniques to extract cosmological information from mass maps generated by observing the gravitational lensing effects of dark matter. This research will enable more...
- This $421,946 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports a team of scientists from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in developing a framework to simulate observed galaxies, galaxy clusters, and their gravitational lensing signals self-consistently. The goal is to compare these simulated observations directly with data from the Dark Energy Survey to better infer the evolution of cosmic structure, providing a new paradigm...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award provides $251,928 to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on combining galaxy and cosmic microwave background surveys to obtain precise and robust constraints on cosmology - the distribution of matter throughout the universe. The research team will analyze complementary measurements of galaxy positions, gravitational lensing of galaxies, gravitational lensing...
- This $286,400 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research to significantly increase the sample size of known gravitational lenses. The University of California, Merced will leverage quadrupled strong gravitational lenses to provide new measurements of dark matter properties and test various theoretically motivated dark matter models. Specifically, the research aims...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $456,936 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System, doing business as the Missouri University of Science & Technology, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds a project titled "Lyman-Alpha Intensity Mapping in the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment" that will pioneer a method for mapping matter in the universe through line intensity mapping of Lyman-alpha photons. The goal is to detect and interpret the Lyman-alpha intensity mapping signal on large scales at redshift 1.9 to support the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment, a cosmology survey mapping one million distant galaxies. As part of this project, the team will also offer summer workshops for undergraduate students and K-12 educators in Missouri to teach data science skills. The award period is from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028.
