- This is a $15,006.21 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) for a research project titled "CONFRONTING CMB FOREGROUND MODELS WITH PLANCK DATA". The grant, which does not utilize a set-aside, will support FSU's work in confronting cosmic microwave background (CMB) foreground models with data from the Planck space observatory. As a major public research institution, FSU has a diverse...
- This is a $366,839.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate how modeling errors in foreground contamination may contribute to tensions observed between data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and Planck space missions, as well as other cosmological measurements. The research will assess the impact of polarization foreground assumptions on determining the cosmic microwave background (CMB)...
- This is a $400,105 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university, to conduct a detailed analysis of maps and power spectra from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and Planck missions. The research will focus on three key tasks: 1) developing a novel likelihood method to extract cosmological information while fully propagating foreground uncertainties in CMB polarization data, 2) exploring...
- This $133,884.58 grant was awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Florida State University (FSU) on September 1, 2019. The project aligns with NASA's Earth Science Research Program goals to advance understanding of changes in the Earth's radiation balance and air quality resulting from changes in atmospheric composition. FSU, a major public research institution, will conduct research and development through its Sponsored Research Administration Division. No set-aside was used for this...
- This $122,441.47 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research that will improve the understanding of ocean circulation and allow for more accurate modeling of how changes in the climate system will affect the oceans. The award, which has a period of performance through August 31, 2023, does not utilize any set-aside designations. FSU, a non-profit educational institution, manages this grant through its...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $670,152.05 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research related to understanding the origin of primordial density fluctuations in the early universe and the detection of primordial gravitational waves through cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. The research aims to provide insights into the physics underlying the properties of polarized dust emission observed by the Planck satellite...
- This $549,454 federal grant award to Florida State University (FSU) supports the development of an adaptive method for combining lumped and high-fidelity simulations of cryogenic fluid dynamics. The grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fund research to achieve accurate predictions of conjugate heat transfer and phase-change dynamics in the transport and storage of cryogenic fluids. The project aims to seamlessly integrate nodal analysis and...
- This is a $143,551.05 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of the project is to develop an adaptive hybrid computational model that combines kinetic ion and fluid electron descriptions to enable more detailed simulations of turbulent solar wind conditions and their impacts on the Earth's magnetosphere. The model will be integrated with global...
- This is a $694,695.26 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU). The grant supports two tasks: 1) investigating the origin of nucleosynthetic isotope anomalies in palladium (Pd), osmium (Os), and other siderophile (iron-loving) elements in meteorites, and 2) refining the hafnium-tungsten (Hf-W) chronometer to better determine the timing of chemical differentiation in the early solar system. The research leverages mass...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $527,537 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, doing business as the University of Michigan, to develop novel arrays of feedhorn coupled, multichroic polarimeters. This technology will enable highly sensitive measurement and characterization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization, which has the potential to reveal evidence of gravitational waves produced during the inflationary epoch of the early...
This is a $423,736.83 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) for research on modeling and characterizing the impact of foreground contamination on measurements of B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The goal is to improve the reliability of detecting the B-mode signal, which could provide insights into the physics of cosmic inflation, a key objective for CMB science. The research involves creating magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the turbulent interstellar medium to generate realistic foreground models, and further developing diagnostics to identify and mitigate foreground contamination. This work will help interpret constraints on the interstellar medium derived from Planck satellite polarization data, and enhance future CMB B-mode and lensing measurements. The grant does not utilize any set-aside designations, and FSU is acting as the prime recipient. The project duration is from February 2017 to February 2020.
