- 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,...
- This $345,303 collaborative research project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) will support scientists at the University of Hawaii and the University of Chicago in analyzing complementary datasets from state-of-the-art astronomical surveys to obtain precise and unbiased constraints on the properties of the universe. The research team will use measurements of galaxy positions, gravitational lensing of galaxies, gravitational...
- New York University was awarded a $494,379 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Under this award, New York University will conduct large-scale statistics simulations of line intensity mapping to...
- 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 $489,534 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a comprehensive study of core formation and core dynamics in galaxies by a team of researchers from the United States and Israel. The key objectives of the 3-year research project are to: (1) further develop and test a novel analytical model for studying the response of multi-component gravitational systems to perturbations; and...
This $590,974 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research project at New York University (NYU) focused on advancing theoretical approaches for analyzing the spatial clustering of galaxies. The key objectives are to: (1) extend the Vlasov Perturbation Theory (VPT) formalism to model the matter bispectrum and redshift-space distortions; (2) incorporate VPT predictions into modeling galaxy power spectra and bispectra; and (3) develop computational tools to improve the efficiency of VPT-based calculations. The project aims to enhance the ability to extract cosmological information from galaxy clustering data, with potential applications in probing early universe conditions, dark matter, and the accelerated expansion of the universe. The award will fund this research effort at NYU over a period of approximately 3 years, from August 2025 to July 2028.
