Grants and Contributions

Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.

It has long been postulated that massive young stars in small dwarf galaxies are the source of photons that drive reionization. This project will employ a new method of detecting dwarf galaxies using medium bands. Once these galaxies are found they will be fully mapped in 2D. This will uncover what is causing the intense star-formation within them, and how the energetic photons that reionize the Universe escape from these galaxies.

This project will study three of the oldest and faintest massive galaxies in our universe, these galaxies are said to have formed “impossibly early,” within a billion years of the Big Bang. This program will investigate how these galaxies assembled large masses of stars in such a short period of time using JWST spectroscopy. These results will address longstanding questions about the formation of the earliest structures in the universe.

This grant supports youth programming at Lloyd S Elementary School that involves the teaching, learning and recording of two traditional songs to be integrated in a permanent soundscape installation at Rouge National Urban Park.

Applicants with a design for a remote healthcare technology concept were invited to apply to the Challenge. After competing in Stage 2 of the Challenge as a semi-finalist, and Stage 3 of the Challenge as a finalist, the recipient was selected as the grand prize winner for a $500,000 cash prize.

This project will map the distribution of dark matter around 16 massive galaxies when the Universe was only 1-2 billion years old. This will be accomplished by constructing robust mass models to account for the observed rotation curves tracing the gravitational influence exerted by the total (luminous and dark) matter distributions. This project will provide key clues on the nature of dark matter by tracing dark matter halos at a cosmic epoch that has been out of reach until now.

This project will conduct a survey proposal of 249 white dwarf stars within 25 parsecs of the sun in order to constrain the flux distributions of a large number of white dwarfs in the mid-infrared. The goal is to detect infrared excesses from cool brown dwarfs, young Jupiters, optically thin dust disks from shredding exo-planetesimals, and cyclotron emission from magnetic white dwarfs. These detections will define white dwarf science (and other fields) with JWST.

Spectral variability of brown dwarfs holds the key to understanding their atmospheric properties. This project aims to determine the mechanism that produces brown dwarf variability and determine what drives the variability (evolving clouds, dynamical chemistry, both?).
