About this award
The University of Delaware received a $529,097 research grant from a civilian federal agency (operating through a Shared Services Center) to support three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic modeling of obliquely rotating massive-star magnetospheres. This research builds on advances in modern spectro-polarimetry that have identified organized magnetic fields in O, B, and A-type stars, with surface strengths ranging from several hundred to tens of thousands of gauss. The award was made on February 8, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of February 7, 2025, and carries no set-aside designation. Work will be performed in Newark, Delaware.
As a comprehensive research institution and land-grant university with extensive federal contracting experience, the University of Delaware is well-positioned to execute this astrophysical research initiative. The institution maintains a robust portfolio of federal grants and contracts spanning multiple scientific disciplines and agencies, including significant awards from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense. This particular award supports fundamental research in stellar magnetism and computational modeling, contributing to the nation's broader scientific discovery objectives in astrophysics.
