Title:
Cosmological measurements from the Euclid and Roman Space telescopes
Agreement Number:
24EXPROSS5
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 14, 2025 - Mar 1, 2028
Description:
Recent progress in the field of cosmology has been spectacular but has thrown up some big questions: we don't know what the dominant constituents of the Universe – dark matter and dark energy - are, or even why they are present. 2025-2028 will be an extremely important period for cosmology with surveys using the ESA-led Euclid satellite mission, and the NASA-led Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope spearheading experimental advances. This project will support the senior management positions held by the PI within the teams analysing data from these experiments and provide key opportunities for the training of junior scientists.
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.
