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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, with a total funding amount of $441,642, supports research to deepen the understanding of the final stages of stellar evolution, specifically focusing on red giants and their mass-shedding processes. The key objectives of this 2-year research project, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, are to: Employ very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations,...
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 $546,489 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at New Mexico State University (NMSU) aimed at using extended emission line nebulae to study the variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over long timescales of 10,000 to 100,000 years. The research program has two key components: (1) developing an efficient search algorithm to...
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 $410,294 National Science Foundation project grant funds an undergraduate group research project led by the University of Arizona to conduct large-scale mapping of filaments and cores in nearby molecular clouds. The project aligns with the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of advancing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems in these fields. Specifically, the grant supports using the Arizona Radio Observatory 12m telescope to map the Taurus and Aquila...
