This $249,278 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support the continued development of the Supernovae Early Warning System (SNEWS) network. SNEWS is an international collaboration between neutrino and dark matter detectors designed to provide automated early alerts of impending supernovae in our galaxy to the astronomical community.

Under this award, a collaborative group of scientists from multiple institutions will work to enhance SNEWS' detection capabilities through upgrades to the SNEWS 2.0 system. This includes developing a follow-up strategy involving amateur astronomers and a multi-lingual planetarium show for worldwide distribution. Benchmark testing will improve the network's robustness, performance and ability to identify pre-supernova and supernova neutrino bursts to enhance electromagnetic follow-up localization. Funded activities advance the goals of the NSF's "Windows on the Universe" priority area by helping observe a galactic supernova's neutrino and light curve onset.
