As part of NSF's mission to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences, this award will...
- This $179,648 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Arizona. The project aims to explore the role of nature versus nurture in the formation of multiple star systems, in contrast to our own single-star solar system. The research team will use computer models incorporating physics like gravity, turbulence, radiation, and stellar...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $109,853 to Bucknell University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) from March 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024. The funding supports a collaborative research effort between Bucknell University and Vassar College to study magnetic fields of planets beyond our solar system through observational and theoretical investigations of magnetic star-planet interactions...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences provides $240,000 to President and Fellows of Harvard College from July 2021 through June 2024. The funding supports collaborative research to advance statistical foundations and address emerging data challenges in astronomy under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This program aims to strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through progress in mathematical and physical...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $403,383 to President And Fellows Of Harvard College for research and application development under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Specifically, the award supports collaborative research to develop machine learning techniques for classifying optical transients detected through astronomical observation. The research is being conducted between September 2021 and...
- The Trustees of Boston University will receive $519,184 from the National Science Foundation under a Project Grant award titled "WOU-MMA: LINEAR AND CIRCULAR POLARIZATION AS A PROBE OF THE RELATIVISTIC JETS OF BLAZARS." The grant funds research into using linear and circular polarization measurements to study relativistic jets emitted by blazars. The work will be performed in Boston, MA from September 2021 through August 2024. The award is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical...
- Trustees of Boston University was awarded a three-year $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research on dynamic bifurcation of patterns through spatio-temporal heterogeneity. The university will investigate how naturally occurring and man-made spatial patterns interact with heterogeneities in time and space using mathematical models from physics and other scientific domains. Researchers will...
- Federal Project Grant Summary Bridgewater State University received $150,249.00 under a collaborative research project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences (Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, CFDA 47.049) for the period September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028. The award supports a collaborative speckle imaging survey of approximately 5,000 nearby stars conducted jointly by Georgia State University, Bridgewater State University, and Southern...
The Trustees of Boston University were awarded a two-year, $464,331 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research connecting multiwavelength variability of protoplanetary disks and their dynamic host stars through August 2023. As part of its mission to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences, the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports projects that increase scientific knowledge and enhance understanding of major problems. This award will further those goals by investigating relationships between changes in light emitted at different wavelengths from developing planetary systems and the stars they orbit. Insights gained from the research have the potential to advance understanding of planet formation processes.
