This $508,372 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to study the physical origin of radio emission in radio-quiet quasars. The primary investigative objectives are to determine the processes contributing to radio emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and use it as a probe of supermassive black holes. The project includes a comprehensive multi-band radio and X-ray study of a...
This $235,890 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research investigating quasar variability through high-cadence spectroscopy. The University of Wisconsin-Madison will leverage spectroscopic monitoring data from ongoing Sloan Digital Sky Survey initiatives to measure properties of quasar accretion disk winds and outflows. Researchers will analyze ensemble variability characteristics of quasar emission lines...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $115,610 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on September 1, 2021 to complete work by January 31, 2023. The grant supports collaborative research investigations of quasar variability through high-cadence spectroscopy under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The program aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding of major issues facing the nation. Funds will support analysis of quasar spectra...
This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of advanced computer simulations to enhance the understanding of galaxy evolution, supermassive black holes, and the formation of the universe. The $598,336 award will fund research over a 5-year period from September 2025 to August 2030. Key objectives include: (1) integrating detailed interstellar medium physics with new simulation...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University a $499,974 project grant titled "QUASAR ABSORPTION OUTFLOWS, THE MAIN AGENT OF AGN FEEDBACK." The grant period runs from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 and supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The project grant funds research examining quasar absorption outflows and their role in regulating the growth of...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $234,319 to Penn State University from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research between Penn State University and Vanderbilt University to conduct the benchmark measurement of quasar spectroscopic variability and implications for supermassive black hole binaries and changing-look...
This $543,942 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports a research project at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to study the epoch of reionization in the early universe. The project will use observations of distant quasars to investigate the ionization state and enrichment of the intergalactic medium during this critical period. Key activities include spectroscopic analysis of over 200 quasar sightlines, theoretical...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,796 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of candidate dusty starburst galaxies in the early universe. The main objectives are to determine accurate redshifts and positions, and define a statistically significant sample of galaxies at z > 6. This will involve deep optical and near-infrared follow-up observations to...
