- This National Science Foundation project grant of $346,472 will fund research into developing a new physical halo model for interpreting dark matter distribution data from galaxy surveys. A collaboration between the University of Arizona and the University of Maryland will provide the first fully physically motivated definition of dark matter halos based on the dichotomy between particles orbiting versus infalling into halos. The team will develop this revised halo model framework, construct...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $283,994 will support the development of a new physically-motivated model of dark matter halos and related data analysis tools. The University of Arizona and University of Maryland will collaborate to provide the first fully physically-based definition of dark matter halos based on the dichotomy between particles orbiting versus infalling into halos. They will construct halo catalogs applying this revised halo definition across simulated...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded the University of New Mexico $156,718 in Project Grant funding on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The award supports development of computational tools powered by artificial intelligence that enable rigorous comparison of theoretical predictions for dwarf galaxies against observations from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's decade-long survey of the southern sky. The...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $202,576 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, doing business as Princeton University, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports a collaborative research effort to study how to indirectly test and constrain the properties of dark matter through observations of individual galaxies. Key deliverables include: 1) new, publicly available software modules...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $398,629 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports collaborative research to systematically predict dynamical signatures of new dark matter physics in galaxies. The researchers will implement various dark matter models in simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and smaller dwarfs, creating a set of...
- This $338,402 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of the award is to develop a comprehensive model that predicts the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way as a function of dark matter properties and early universe dynamics. This will enable near-field measurements of small-scale matter clustering, yielding...
- This National Science Foundation award provides $345,251 to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a framework for interpreting panchromatic observations of galaxy cluster halos. Working with the University of California, Santa Cruz, the awardees will use large cosmological simulations and machine learning techniques to understand the complex covariances of dark matter halo properties as traced by...
- This $508,212 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the creation of an ambitious simulation suite that will uniformly cover an unprecedented range of dark matter and gravity models. The goal is to enable detailed comparisons between these simulations and observational survey data, potentially ruling out certain models of dark matter and gravity. The simulations will be publicly available to enable...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $497,792 Project Grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to support research under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant aims to develop advanced machine learning techniques to extract cosmological information from mass maps generated by observing the gravitational lensing effects of dark matter. This research will enable more...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $438,078 Project Grant to New York University (NYU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the development of a new statistical method to quantify the relationship between dark matter and the observable galaxies in the universe. The researchers will apply this technique to analyze data from the Bright Galaxy Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)....
