Title:
The Early Assembly History of the Most Massive Halo in the Reionization Era - Probing the Protocluster Environment
Agreement Value:
$10,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 29, 2022 - Mar 31, 2024
Description:
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST.
The project aims to measure accurate masses and formation histories of galaxies in the most massive dark matter halo known in the epoch of reionization. These observations offer the chance to understand the formation of an extreme peak in the primordial density field and the role of environment in the early evolution of massive galaxies.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
