- This $318,259 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research into tidal disruption events involving supermassive black holes. A collaborative team from the University of California, Santa Cruz, University of California, Berkeley, and Northwestern University will conduct computational modeling and numerical experiments to advance understanding of key physical processes governing stellar tidal disruptions and the subsequent...
- This three-year, $314,904 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research on tidal disruption of stars by massive black holes at Northwestern University. The researchers will bring together experts in hydrodynamics, general relativity, and radiative transfer to address gaps in understanding tidal disruption events (TDEs) through multi-scale modeling and numerical experiments isolating key processes....
- The National Science Foundation, under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $287,714 project grant to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to conduct collaborative research on the radiation magnetohydrodynamics of tidal disruption events (TDEs). Through numerical simulations, the researchers will probe how magnetic fields and radiation pressure affect the tidal streams from a star's disruption by a supermassive black hole, the subsequent accretion onto the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $500,133 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. Through this grant, the research team will conduct a systematic study of the diverse outflows that occur during tidal disruption events, when a star is scattered into the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. The researchers will use radio and millimeter observations to track the evolution of...
- This $136,184 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support a collaborative research project led by the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive study of black hole-driven turbulence in massive galactic systems. The research team will work to directly evaluate the viability of the mechanism by which supermassive black holes inject turbulence into a galaxy's gas supply to prevent the...
- This Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award, totaling $190,545, will support a collaborative research project from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct a systematic study of extreme accretion events associated with supermassive black holes. The research team will combine infrared, optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray data from national observatories...
- This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports research that leverages the recent detection of gravitational waves to provide new insights into black holes, neutron stars, and the expansion of the universe. The funded research aims to analyze the rapidly growing catalog of gravitational wave sources, which is expected to expand from the current 90 confirmed events to over 300 by 2027. By studying the population...
- This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
