The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $168,673 Project Grant to Lowell Observatory, a non-profit research institution in Flagstaff, Arizona, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year grant supports a collaborative research program to study "Thorne-Zytkow Objects" (TZOs) - a novel model for how the interiors of stars can function. Key activities include running computer simulations of binary star systems that may form TZOs, using...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research program at the University of Washington to search for self-lensing compact binaries - binary star systems with a compact object like a black hole or neutron star - using data from the Zwicky Transient Facility. The $526,252 award over 3 years aims to expand the search for compact objects by detecting gravitational self-lensing signatures in...
This $118,673 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports a collaborative research effort led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in partnership with researchers at several other academic institutions. The project aims to develop new techniques in "polarimetric asteroseismology" to study the interior structures of massive hot stars, which are key sources of energy and new...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to model convective boundary mixing in massive stars. The $402,908 award to Northwestern University will run from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research aims to determine how much fresh fuel can mix into the cores of massive stars, which can extend their lifetimes and impact their evolution into neutron stars or black holes. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $422,670 Project Grant to the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy (MIRA) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award, effective September 1, 2024, supports a collaborative research project titled "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." The project aims to determine the interior structures of massive hot stars, which are significant sources of energy and new material in...
This $153,169 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research conducted by a team of investigators from four primarily undergraduate universities. The research aims to confirm which stars in the Milky Way originated from disrupted globular star clusters by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of candidate stars. By determining the location of stripped cluster stars, the...
This $120,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports fundamental research on gravitational astrophysics and computational methods to advance scientific understanding of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The award will fund a series of research projects at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) focused on developing new...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $449,485 to the University of Virginia from October 2022 through September 2025. The funding supports collaborative research between teams in Virginia and New Mexico to investigate the nature and origin of massive young stars through a combined theoretical and observational approach. Over 100 very young, massive stars will be observed with radio telescopes to develop a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program provides $109,108 to Western Washington University to conduct collaborative research on the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The 3-year project, running from September 2024 to August 2027, seeks to confirm the origin of stars in the inner galaxy by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of 3,000...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $562,565 to the University of Arizona over 3 years, from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The funding will support a research program to extend ground-based near-ultraviolet (NUV) astronomy observations of transient astronomical events such as supernovae. The program will utilize a specialized NUV-optimized camera on a robotic telescope to regularly...
