The National Science Foundation awarded Purdue University a $252,553 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant funds collaborative research between Purdue University and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel titled "Crossing the Chasm: From Compact Object Mergers to Cosmic Fireworks." The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to advance scientific knowledge and enhance understanding of major problems through support of mathematical and physical sciences research and education activities. This particular award will support research exploring the connection between mergers of compact astrophysical objects like black holes and neutron stars, and the production of electromagnetic counterparts observable with ground- and space-based facilities.
