The focus is on...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $301,062 supports research at Texas A&M University to advance theoretical modeling of neutron-rich nuclear matter under extreme astrophysical conditions. The research utilizes machine learning methods to calculate high-order perturbation theory corrections to the finite-temperature nuclear equation of state and develop a new matrix inversion method for computing nuclear matter response functions. These theoretical advances will enable more reliable predictions for electromagnetic, neutrino, and gravitational wave signals from astrophysical events like supernovae and neutron star mergers that may be observed with space-based and ground-based detectors. The work aligns with the objectives of the NSF's "Windows on the Universe: The Era of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics" priority area and was funded through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049). The award period is from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025.
