The University of California, San Diego will receive $350,845 from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from September 2021 through August 2024. The funding will support the "A Holistic View of Gas, Dust, and Metals in Galaxies" project. Through this award, UC San Diego researchers will investigate the relationship between gas, dust, and metals within galaxies to further understanding of major problems in astrophysics. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $487,320 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will support a team of scientists who will tackle fundamental questions about the formation and evolution of the first galaxies in the universe. The researchers will provide mentoring for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a postdoctoral fellow,...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $230,625 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to University Enterprises, Inc. at California State University, Sacramento. The grant, titled "LEAPS-MPS: Unveiling the Role of a Galaxy's Structure with Bespoke Numerical Models," will fund a research project to use computer simulations to study how the shape and dynamics of galaxies impact their star formation rates. The project...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $460,851 to the University of California, Irvine to study the dynamics of gas in merging galaxies. The 3-year research project, which runs from Aug 1, 2024 to Jul 31, 2027, will leverage new observations from the Keck and James Webb Space Telescopes to trace the movement of gas as it traverses the galactic ecosystem. This will enable a detailed understanding of...
This $539,342 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the agency's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports research to investigate the unexpectedly large number of extremely luminous, high-redshift galaxies that suggest star formation rates up to 100 times higher than the Milky Way today. The principal investigators will use advanced computer simulations and analytical modeling to study the physical conditions in...
