This $137,360 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to chart the connection between supernovae, gas, and stars via a major new survey of the Local Group using the Very Large Array radio telescope. Specifically, the University of Wisconsin-Madison will conduct observation, processing, and analysis of the Local Group L-Band Survey, an 1,800-hour VLA survey of six northern Local Group galaxies including Andromeda. The survey will simultaneously map the 21-cm...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $322,258 will support the Local Group L-Band Survey, a major new 1,800-hour observational survey of six northern Local Group galaxies using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. Conducted under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the survey simultaneously maps the 21-cm hydrogen line and 1-2 GHz radio continuum emission to study interactions between the interstellar medium, star formation, and stellar feedback at an...
This $346,372 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to better understand the interaction between interstellar gas, supernova explosions, and massive young stars in nearby galaxies. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will support observation, processing, and analysis associated with the Local Group L-Band Survey, an 1,800-hour Very Large Array survey of six northern Local Group galaxies including Andromeda. The survey will...
This $396,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports observational and laboratory studies of the evolution of circumstellar material from late-stage stellar evolution. The primary objectives are to: 1) Conduct a broadband millimeter-wave survey to analyze the carbon budget and isotope ratios in the carbon-rich envelope of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC+10216; 2) Perform laboratory measurements of the rotational...
This $526,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research to better understand the star formation process. The principal investigator will use the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to observe dense gas surrounding newly forming stars at different stages of development. The project aims to determine how material flows from molecular clouds into the inner regions around protostars, as well as how protostellar...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $420,110 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to "Explore Magnetic Fields on the Largest Scales." The 3-year award, beginning September 1, 2023, will fund research to develop a new "Gradient Technique" to map magnetic field directions in galaxy cluster "megahalos" - massive magnetic fields spanning millions of light years. The research aims to (1) test theories of the...
This $484,651 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support a research project at Arizona State University (ASU) to characterize radio continuum emission from low-redshift Lyman continuum leakers. The goal is to better understand the reionization of the universe, which was driven by young galaxies that ionized the intergalactic medium by a redshift of ~6. The project will leverage 221 hours of VLA...
This $531,469 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Federal Grant Program 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences supports a collaborative research project to enhance rapid identification and study of nearby supernovae. The research team from the University of California, Davis will use a network of small telescopes and real-time machine learning algorithms to survey galaxies within 40 Mpc of Earth, with the goal of...
This $441,642 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support a research program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to deepen the understanding of stellar evolution, specifically the mass loss processes of red giants. The program will employ very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) to study the gas motions and physical conditions within these dying stars, using molecular masers as a unique tool. The...
This $228,609 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research into understanding high-mass star formation through observations of cold, dense gas cores using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the research team will conduct a systematic survey of potential starless, high-mass gas clumps within 5 kiloparsecs of Earth to reveal any embedded high-mass cores. Detailed ALMA observations will deliver...
