This $598,336 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at the University of Connecticut (UConn) to advance galaxy evolution modeling and explore the formation and evolution of galaxies, supermassive black holes, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The research team will develop advanced computer simulations that integrate detailed interstellar medium physics and super-resolution...
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 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 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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $538,767 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) to conduct research under the federal Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The goal of this 3-year project is to address key gaps in understanding the co-evolution of supermassive black holes, galaxies, and gravitational-wave sources in the early universe. Using state-of-the-art cosmological simulations, the researchers will study the impact of...
This $159,547 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the secrets behind the growth of supermassive black holes located at the centers of galaxies. The primary focus is to explore how these black holes grow through the accumulation of matter or by merging with other black holes. Key objectives include determining black hole merger rates, investigating growth during the peak period of black hole...
This $557,211 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports research to better understand the multi-phase, multi-scale circumgalactic medium (CGM) - the diffuse gas surrounding galaxies. The principal investigator will conduct high-resolution computer simulations to study the physics underlying the formation, evolution, and properties of galactic atmospheres and clouds, with a focus on turbulent fragmentation, magnetic field effects,...
This award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $596,139 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the co-evolution of galaxies and their satellite populations. The team will leverage their expertise in modeling sub-halo dynamics and the flow of mass, energy, and metals between galaxies and the surrounding circumgalactic medium to create...
This federal Project Grant award of $136,184, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project to study black hole-driven turbulence in massive galactic systems. The project aims to better understand the "feedback" mechanism provided by accreting supermassive black holes, which can prevent the rapid conversion of a galaxy's gas supply into stars. The research team will use X-ray,...
This $439,516 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at the University of Washington from September 2022 through August 2025. The project aims to develop a state-of-the-art hydrodynamic galaxy simulation code to study the complex interplay between stellar winds and outflows from star formation with the circumgalactic medium surrounding massive galaxies. Researchers will incorporate a subgrid...
