This $244,369 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research to identify and characterize populations of massive stellar binary systems, composed of a black hole or neutron star and a massive star, in nearby low-metallicity dwarf galaxies. The project will use multiwavelength archival data to study these "high mass X-ray binaries" as analogs to similar systems that may have formed in the early universe....
The National Science Foundation awarded a $186,747 Project Grant to the CAL Poly Pomona Foundation Inc. under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the project "LEAPS-MPS: THE TINIEST GALAXIES IN THE UNIVERSE AS TESTBEDS OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023. The project will use some of the smallest known galaxies as testbeds to study fundamental physics. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to advance...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $483,886 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on binary star formation in the Orion Nebula Cluster. The research aims to use advanced techniques like laser frequency comb spectroscopy and adaptive optics to discover a larger population of close binary stars that were previously undetected in this stellar nursery. The findings...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $129,033 to the CAL Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation (doing business as the HSU Foundation) to support a collaborative research project focused on the study of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The award will enable the "Fast and Fortunate for FRB Follow-up (F4)" research team to significantly expand their observational capacity to study hundreds of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $190,619 Project Grant to the California Polytechnic State University Pomona Foundation Inc. under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund collaborative research from July 2021 to June 2024 to study mass-loss rates for OB stars driving infrared bowshocks. As part of NSF's mission to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences, this award will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $475,345 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research on detecting dormant black holes and neutron stars in binary stellar systems. The key goals of the project are to: Obtain spectroscopic and multi-epoch radial velocity data for approximately 100 binary systems identified by the Gaia mission as likely containing black hole or neutron star...
Purdue University will receive $291,874 from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to investigate the interaction and long-term evolution of astrophysical binary systems with surrounding disks of matter through September 2025. A team led by the principal investigator will perform comprehensive two- and three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic and hydrodynamical simulations of binaries interacting with gas disks. As a product of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $325,460 Project Grant to North Carolina State University (NC State) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant, effective from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will support research to better understand the global dynamics of mass and angular momentum accretion in high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems. The project will leverage computer simulations to quantify the material...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences project grant of $248,151 will support high resolution optical interferometry studies of interacting binary star systems to better understand stellar evolution and the formation of neutron stars and black holes. Led by Dr. [PI name] at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, the team will use the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy array to collect interferometric data on known symbiotic binary stars over a...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $462,848 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049) program to The SETI Institute. The grant will fund a comprehensive analysis of period changes in eclipsing binary stars from 2022-2025. Researchers will measure decades-long period changes in hundreds of eclipsing binaries to constrain the internal structure of individual stars and probe for additional bodies like planets or stars. They will use...
