- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $420,240 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Merced to support a collaborative research project investigating how star formation is suppressed (quenched) in galaxies residing in distant massive clusters. The project will apply new analysis techniques to images from the Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments (GOGREEN) survey to determine the spatial...
- This three-year, $263,272 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 better understand galaxy cluster mergers through observational data and advanced hydrodynamical simulations of ten galaxy clusters. The California Institute of Technology will conduct deep, multi-probe observational studies of the selected clusters to map their total mass density, intracluster...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,421 Project Grant to the University of the Pacific under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct collaborative research on the Virgo Cluster of galaxies from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The research team from the University of the Pacific and University of California, Santa Cruz will use spectroscopic observations of globular clusters to study the dark matter content and assembly history...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to reconstruct primordial density fluctuations using near-field cosmology. The key product of this $419,979 award, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027, will be an efficient and accurate model for predicting the Milky...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will provide $353,236 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The funding will support a research project to identify and study merging galaxy clusters as "dark matter laboratories" to better understand the nature of dark matter interactions. The project will involve...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $546,269 Project Grant to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The grant, funded under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research to study how star clusters form and disperse over time. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year award include: 1) developing semi-analytic models to predict cluster properties and mass loss; 2) comparing...
- The University of California Santa Cruz received a $606,396 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund the "Collaborative Research: The Merian Survey," which aims to characterize dark matter and feedback in star forming dwarf galaxies through June 2024. As part of the NSF's mission to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $509,959 Project Grant to the University of California, Merced under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. This collaborative research grant will support a study on the evolving dynamics of star clusters within Milky Way-like galaxies. The research team will analyze advanced computer simulations to track the orbital dynamics and evolution of open star clusters, examining how the changing galactic environment impacts their trajectories. The project will also create planetarium shows and other public outreach programs in California and Texas, and provide research and training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in astrophysics. The award has a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
