About this award
The Pennsylvania State University received a $132,350 research grant awarded December 18, 2024, by a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of December 17, 2026. This grant supports a comprehensive research initiative addressing multiple objectives aligned with the Physics of the Cosmos (PhysCos) Time Domain and Multi-Messenger (TDAMM) Study and the Astrophysics Cross Observatory Science Support (ACROSS) Pilot Initiative. The research focuses on investigating fundamental questions in observational astrophysics, with particular emphasis on space-based follow-up observations of gravitational wave detections during the LIGO/Virgo/Kagra Observing Run-4, representing a high-priority, community-validated science case.
The award includes no set-aside designation, indicating Penn State competed on technical merit and capability. As a major public research university with extensive experience in federal research sponsorship, Penn State will conduct this work at its University Park campus in Pennsylvania. This grant reflects the institution's significant role in advancing multi-messenger astronomy and gravitational wave science, contributing to broader national priorities in fundamental physics and space exploration research.
Description
The proposed research provides a multi-faceted and comprehensive approach for investigating several important questions relevant to the physics of the cosmos (physcos) time domain and multi messenger (tdamm) study and the astrophysics cross observatory science support pilot initiative. Additionally, the proposed research is likely to result in improved science outcomes for a high priority and community validated science case: space-based follow-up observations of gravitational wave detections during the ligo/virgo/kagra observing run-4.
