- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $433,221.00 to the University of Illinois aims to advance understanding of star formation processes in galaxies. The research team will spatially resolve connections between the cold molecular gas fuel and declining star formation rates in aging galaxies, using a combination of observational data and computer simulations. They will leverage recently completed surveys and state-of-the-art...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $338,029 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to study the time variability and duty cycle of active galactic nuclei during the quenching phase of galaxy evolution. The 3-year research project will utilize optical and radio observations to investigate how supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies impact the cessation of star formation. The goal is to provide crucial context for understanding the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $526,998 to Yale University to conduct research on the star formation process. The primary objectives are to: Use millimeter-wave observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to probe the structure and evolution of star-forming regions, specifically examining how material is funneled from...
- 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.
