- This $325,777 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey capabilities to promptly identify and study new supernovae in nearby galaxies, taking advantage of a network of small telescopes. This will enable the discovery of...
- The University of California, Davis received a $531,469 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae in the sky. The 3-year award will support the team's efforts to incorporate new infrastructure to find even younger nearby supernovae, with the goal of discovering 30 very young nearby supernovae over the project period. This includes 12 thermonuclear Type Ia...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $129,929 to the University of Alabama, awarded on August 1, 2023, will support computer-based numerical simulations to investigate the "double-detonation" mechanism for Type Ia supernovae. The research team aims to determine the robustness and viability of this explosion scenario, which starts with a helium detonation on the surface of a white dwarf star that triggers a carbon-burning...

The research team at Rutgers, The State University will enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae, incorporating new infrastructure to identify even younger nearby supernovae. As part of this work, three...
- This $239,093 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund collaborative research between the University of Virginia and Michigan State University to analyze data and model stripped supernovae explosions. The researchers will study at least 185 stripped supernovae, the largest data set in the world, to quantify uncertainties in modeling these explosions and transition the...
- This $355,665 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research at The Johns Hopkins University to improve characterization of Type IA supernova host galaxy properties. The university will compile an extensive multi-wavelength dataset leveraging existing optical data and upcoming infrared archives to recover star formation histories through non-parametric fitting and determine stellar masses and formation rates for supernova host...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $193,864 to The Trustees of Princeton University for collaborative research to constrain supernova progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms through three-dimensional reconstruction of supernova remnants. The research team will study five nearby supernova remnants to create 3D models of the locations and velocities of exploded star material. They will deduce the composition of the stars prior...
- Purdue University was awarded a three-year, $342,272 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct collaborative research constraining supernova progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms through 3D reconstruction of supernova remnants. The researchers will study the remnants of five nearby supernova explosions to better understand the progenitor stars and will combine...
- This $415,181 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund collaborative research between Michigan State University and the University of Virginia to analyze data and model stripped supernovae. The researchers will analyze data from a large set of stripped supernovae and model the data using radiative transfer software called TARDIS in combination with machine learning emulators. They aim to resolve controversies in the supernova community...
- This $717,600 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to better understand the nature of dark energy and the expansion of the universe. The principal investigator will use the Young Supernova Experiment to measure a uniform sample of Type Ia supernovae in the nearby universe and develop novel methods for determining cosmological parameters. They will also identify Type Ia supernovae in distant...
