- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded The University of Kentucky Research Foundation $447,036 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct a multiphase astrophysics survey of molecular clouds and star formation in the Virgo galaxy cluster. The funded research uses the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to observe 40 galaxies in the Virgo cluster, measuring the distribution, density, and dynamical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $208,448 Project Grant to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to develop a software tool for modeling the rest-optical emission line spectra of distant galaxies dating back to the early universe, or "cosmic dawn". The award will support collaborative research by PIs Shapley and Sanders to analyze data from hundreds of galaxies observed roughly 10 billion years ago, when the universe was forming...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $399,362 Project Grant to the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) to explore the physics of cloud formation and dynamics in the atmospheres of giant planets and brown dwarfs. The three-year research program will simulate cloudy atmospheric conditions on the four solar system giant planets as well as exoplanets and brown dwarfs, in order to improve understanding of temperature, chemical mixing, and patchiness...
- This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate the evolution of the Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way. The project aims to map the Magellanic Clouds and their periphery to search for evidence of past interactions between the clouds or with smaller accreted systems. By...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded Associated Universities Inc. $222,386 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to characterize the demographics and properties of pre-main sequence stars and their protoplanetary disks. The research team will develop AI and machine learning tools for efficient forward modeling of protoplanetary disk radiative transfer models applied to Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded $399,572 to the University of Colorado on January 1, 2026, for continued U.S. researcher access to the CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) consortium chamber at CERN to study atmospheric new-particle formation and growth. The award funds three years of experiments using CLOUD's 26 cubic meter stainless-steel chamber—a facility with no U.S. equivalent—to develop molecular descriptions of particle nucleation...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $291,944 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York, operating as Stony Brook University. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will fund a collaborative research project focused on three key science objectives: 1) Imaging the "cosmic web" of intergalactic gas, 2) Searching for ancient stellar nova shells, and 3) Obtaining deep...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $422,493 on January 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop computational tools and models explaining early galaxy formation and the role of growing black holes and star formation in the early universe. The recipient will create an analytic model of the "burstiness" in early star formation and its effects on chemical...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded The Johns Hopkins University $370,257 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support collaborative research examining spatially-resolved drivers of star formation and active galactic nuclei feedback using the KILOGAS survey. The research analyzes data from 500 nearby galaxies observed with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to map recent star-formation histories...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded the University of Florida $438,426 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct observational research on gas flows in star formation. The research analyzes the ALMA Panta Rei large program dataset, mapping 259 star-forming clumps to trace gas flows from parsec-scale clouds to 1000 AU cores and linking observations across multiple high-resolution programs (DIHCA,...
