About this award
The National Science Foundation awarded a $71,279 research grant to Columbia University to support a direct mass measurement study of the near-Chandrasekhar white dwarf in the symbiotic binary system RT Crucis. The award, issued January 1, 2025, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026, represents a competitive, non-set-aside grant under Columbia's Sponsored Projects Administration. This astrophysical research aligns with NSF's broader initiative to execute a balanced science program grounded in National Academies guidance and to advance discovery through cross-disciplinary collaboration, with particular emphasis on fundamental research in traditional science domains.
Columbia University, a premier private research institution with extensive federal contracting experience across multiple agencies, will conduct the research at its New York campus. The study contributes to the agency's portfolio of space exploration and astronomical research, areas where Columbia has demonstrated substantial capacity through previous NSF grants ranging from quantum cryptography to ecosystem dynamics studies. The university's track record as both prime grantee and collaborative research partner, combined with its strategic partnerships across the scientific community, positions it to execute this specialized astrophysical investigation effectively.
Description
Execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the national academies of sciences, engineering, and medicine, administration priorities, and direction from congress. Participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency s exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the moon, lunar orbit, mars, and beyond. Advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines develop a directorate-wide, target-user focused approach to applied programs, including earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness.
