The research team will use measurements of galaxy positions, gravitational lensing of galaxies, gravitational...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), aims to establish a collaboration between the University of Hawaii (UH) and Duke University to advance supernova cosmology research. The $277,608 award will support activities to: Leverage UH-led supernova discovery surveys, such as Pan-STARRS and ATLAS, to significantly reduce key systematic uncertainties in cosmological parameters. This will be achieved by...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $343,572 supports the completion and early analysis of the Hawaii-Two-0 (H20) Survey through September 2025. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award enables an ultra-deep, multi-wavelength galaxy survey across two 10-square degree regions. The H20 Survey will image an unprecedented 500,000 high-redshift Lyman break galaxies, 12,000 quiescent systems, and 50-100 proto-clusters between redshifts 3-7...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $293,196 Project Grant to Swarthmore College to address fundamental issues in cosmology under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The funding will support theoretical work to provide insights into tensions in the current standard cosmological model, specifically the "Hubble tension" and "Sigma-8 tension" that challenge our understanding of the Universe's expansion...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $426,848 supports the Hawaii-Two-0 (H20) Survey, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The H20 Survey will complete ultra-deep, multi-wavelength imaging of two 10-square degree regions to identify over 500,000 high-redshift Lyman break galaxies, 12,000 quiescent systems, and 50-100 proto-clusters between redshifts 3-7. Follow-up spectroscopy with Keck Observatory will measure photometric redshift...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $697,010 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund the "CATCH A FADING STAR: USING TRANSIENT DIMMING TO EXPLORE THE PLANET-FORMING ZONES OF YOUNG STARS" research project being conducted from September 2021 through August 2024. The project aims to use observations of temporary dimming events caused by dust clouds around young stars to explore...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $439,616 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii (UH) Institute for Astronomy (IFA) and the University of California, Riverside (UCR) for the California-Hawaii Astrophysics Mentoring Partnership (CHAMP) program. The 3-year grant aims to build a collaborative research, education, and outreach program focused on addressing recommendations from the 2022 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey. Key...
- This $120,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports fundamental research on gravitational astrophysics and computational methods to advance scientific understanding of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The award will fund a series of research projects at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) focused on developing new...
- 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $248,928 project grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Hawaii at Hilo (UH Hilo). The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027. The purpose of this grant is to develop an independent measurement of the sigma-8 parameter, which quantifies the amplitude of matter density fluctuations, in order to test the Lambda-CDM model of cosmology. The researcher will create a semi-analytic modeling framework called CRISP to rapidly predict key structural properties of galaxy clusters, such as concentration, shape, and spin, as a function of sigma-8 and omega-m (matter density parameter). The project will also generate realistic mock cluster catalogs tailored for observations from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time. In addition, the grant will support a sustainable undergraduate research program in computational astrophysics at UH Hilo, preparing students for graduate school and STEM careers.
