- This $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences will fund research into the role of the dynamo effect in neutron star mergers from 2022 to 2025. As part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the grant supports efforts to elucidate the dynamo processes generated by instabilities in the pre-merger and post-merger phases of neutron star collisions. Insights into how accompanying magnetic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the California State University Long Beach (CSULB) Research Foundation. The project, titled "RUI: Investigating Phases of Cosmic Matter with Neutron Star Seismology," will use mathematical and computational methods to quantify how neutron star composition affects observables such as gravitational waves. The goal is to...
- This $301,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on neutron stars and gravitational waves. The main research activities include searches for continuous gravitational waves from young neutron stars, including R-mode oscillations of known pulsars and searches of supernova remnants for non-pulsing neutron stars. The award also contributes to searches for other signals like neutron star...
- 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...
