This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $437,261 to Princeton University to conduct collaborative research on the decay and diffusion of dynamo-generated magnetic fields in astrophysical plasmas. The research, conducted in partnership with Dartmouth College, aims to investigate how self-generated magnetic fields can persist and disperse in turbulent astrophysical plasmas, drawing on theoretical and...
This $379,797 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences supports research on electron impact ionization and recombination processes for heavy elements produced in neutron star mergers. The project aims to calculate accurate cross sections for these key astrophysical plasma ionization mechanisms, which will help astronomers better interpret the spectra of kilonovae - the transient electromagnetic emissions from neutron star...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $792,242 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a theoretical investigation at Columbia University to understand the origin of ultra-strong magnetic fields in nascent neutron stars. The research aims to revise the linear stability analysis of turbulent dynamo mechanisms inside newly formed neutron stars and model the nonlinear turbulence triggered in these...
This $590,559 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a three-year research program led by Columbia University. The program aims to perform computer simulations that predict the radiation emitted from neutron star winds and how it propagates through the debris of stellar explosions. The research will also apply these calculations to spinning neutron stars created from the merger of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $457,955 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration, doing business as Princeton University, to study the physics of rotating magnetized plasmas in astrophysical systems. The three-year grant, awarded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), will support computer simulations to investigate key physical effects of global space and magnetic...
This Project Grant award for $150,000 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research in gravitational wave astrophysics. The research aims to solve Einstein's equations numerically using simulations run on NSF-funded supercomputers to study the inspiral and merger of binary neutron star systems and the associated gravitational waves. The results will increase understanding of gravitational wave...
The Trustees of Princeton University were awarded a $502,228 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences. The grant supports laboratory research to search for magnetorotational instability from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award provides $180,000.00 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The primary goal of the project is to develop novel numerical simulations and data-driven models to predict gravitational wave signals from mergers of black holes and neutron stars. This research will test Einstein's general relativity under extreme conditions and help maximize...
