This $325,777 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey capabilities to promptly identify and study new supernovae in nearby galaxies, taking advantage of a network of small telescopes. This will enable the discovery of...
This $717,600 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to better understand the nature of dark energy and the expansion of the universe. The principal investigator will use the Young Supernova Experiment to measure a uniform sample of Type Ia supernovae in the nearby universe and develop novel methods for determining cosmological parameters. They will also identify Type Ia supernovae in distant...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $498,205 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The purpose of the grant is to advance understanding of the unique geometrical imprints of Type Ia supernova explosions and their progenitor systems. The research team at FSU will incorporate new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope and ground-based spectropolarimetry programs...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $387,371 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will support research to study the properties of Population III stars, which are the first generation of stars in the universe formed from only the elements produced during the Big Bang. The project will conduct comprehensive spectral analysis of 341 metal-poor stars in the Milky Way galaxy to indirectly...
This $258,736 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team at Rutgers, The State University will enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae, incorporating new infrastructure to identify even younger nearby supernovae. As part of this work, three...
The University of California, Davis received a $531,469 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae in the sky. The 3-year award will support the team's efforts to incorporate new infrastructure to find even younger nearby supernovae, with the goal of discovering 30 very young nearby supernovae over the project period. This includes 12 thermonuclear Type Ia...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,306 project grant to The Johns Hopkins University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds collaborative research to take a panchromatic view of normal galaxies in the early universe. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing...
This $277,608 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a research collaboration between the University of Hawaii (UH) and Duke University to advance supernova cosmology research over the next two years. The project aims to leverage UH-led supernova discovery surveys, such as Pan-STARRS and ATLAS, to reduce key systematic uncertainties in cosmological parameter measurements. The collaboration will focus on assembling...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $633,401 Project Grant titled "ALL-SKY PRECISE STELLAR AGES FOR GALACTIC AND STELLAR ARCHAEOLOGY" to The Johns Hopkins University. The 3-year grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the research team to calculate precise ages and compositions for hundreds of thousands of "subgiant" stars. This large catalog of high-precision stellar ages and other key...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences totals $134,673 to support research optimizing discovery with multi-epoch photometric survey data. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, the award will see the development of new statistical and machine learning methods and open-source software to improve detection, characterization, and classification of astrophysical objects in multi-epoch imaging surveys. A team of astronomers,...
