- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded contract NNX16AM61H, a $282,864.10 training grant, to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop high-precision photometric calibration technology for producing foreground-cleaned cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization maps. The goal is to enable the detection of primordial gravitational waves, which would provide evidence for quantum gravity and determine the energy scale of inflation. The work aligns with...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $217,332.00 grant to the University of Chicago for research and development of optical and optical coupling technologies for future satellite-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) missions. The research aims to develop anti-reflection coatings, filters, and feedhorns that will enable high-frequency, high-performance CMB measurements from 30-400 GHz to separate cosmological signals from foregrounds. The technologies being...
- This $203,947.34 federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop novel metamaterial silicon half-wave plates and anti-reflection coatings for use in cosmic microwave background observations. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, runs through December 1, 2020 and is intended to produce lower-loss and broader-bandwidth polarization modulation components to enable unambiguous...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, for a project titled "From Systematic Errors to Cosmology Using Large-Scale Structure". The $334,260 award will fund a two-pronged program to improve methods for calibrating and correcting systematic errors in galaxy surveys, and to study the reconstruction of the late-time integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect in the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $120,000.00 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Michigan Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, doing business as the University of Michigan. The grant will advance the development of the Ultra-Wideband Software-Defined Microwave Radiometer (UWBRAD) instrument, which was previously deployed on a tower in Antarctica and during an airborne campaign over Greenland. The research aims to enhance the use of...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, for the development of broad-bandwidth metamaterial antireflection coatings for sub-millimeter astronomy and cosmic microwave background (CMB) research. The $203,848.72 grant aims to improve optical elements such as lenses and half-wave plates to boost the sensitivity and capability of future sub-millimeter and CMB...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $864,006.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, doing business as the University of Michigan, for the development and demonstration of a wideband autocorrelation radiometer receiver to directly measure terrestrial snow and ice accumulation. This technology is intended to improve upon existing passive microwave methods for quantifying global snow pack, which can be...
