This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $189,753 awarded on September 1, 2022 supports research into the evolution of magnetic complexity in older sun-like stars under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Principal investigators Metcalfe and Van Saders will obtain polarized spectra of 12 stars using the Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and Spectroscopic Instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope and the Las Cumbres Observatory's Network of Robotic...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $444,772 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to study the evolution of magnetic complexity in old sun-like stars under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Principal investigators Metcalfe and Van Saders from the University of Hawaii at Manoa will take polarized spectra of 12 stars using the Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and Spectroscopic Instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope and the...
This $792,242 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research investigation at Columbia University aimed at understanding the origin and mechanisms behind the generation of ultra-strong magnetic fields in nascent neutron stars. The 3-year project, running from September 2024 to August 2027, will involve theoretical modeling and numerical simulations to study the interplay of rotation,...
This Project Grant award, totaling $110,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award supports a postdoctoral fellowship for Dr. Clara Brasseur at the Lowell Observatory to conduct research on stellar and substellar magnetospheric physics. Key activities under this award include: Combining individual studies of low-mass stars and ultracool dwarf stars to build scaling relations between...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $493,670 Project Grant to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds research to explore the long-term behavior of nearby red dwarfs. As the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise, this...
This $110,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant recipient, Adrian Fraser, will use the funding to carry out a 3-year program of research and education at the University of Colorado Boulder. The primary focus of the research is to perform simulations of rotating, magnetized fluids to improve understanding of how rapidly the cores of stars spin over time. This has...
This $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences will fund research into the role of the dynamo effect in neutron star mergers from 2022 to 2025. As part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the grant supports efforts to elucidate the dynamo processes generated by instabilities in the pre-merger and post-merger phases of neutron star collisions. Insights into how accompanying magnetic...
This $330,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research to investigate the atmospheric changes and evolution of brown dwarfs, which occupy a middle ground between stars and planets. The research team will use polarimetry techniques to create comprehensive models that incorporate cloud formation and chemical processes to better understand the L/T transition, a dramatic...
This $437,261 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a collaborative research project between Princeton University and Dartmouth College to study the decay and diffusion of dynamo-generated magnetic fields in astrophysical plasmas. The project uses theoretical and numerical modeling approaches to investigate how magnetic fields are maintained in turbulent astrophysical environments and how expelled...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $318,113 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct a collaborative research program entitled "A Comprehensive Theoretical Study of Cosmological Magnetic Fields and Turbulence: From the Early to Late Time Universe." This 3-year grant, which began on September 1, 2023, will support theoretical and computational modeling to investigate the origin, evolution, and...
