The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $431,250 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The award period is from June 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The funded research project has three main goals: (i) conduct radio follow-up observations of neutron star-neutron star and neutron star-black hole systems detected by gravitational wave observatories to study the physics of their ejecta and remnants; (ii) investigate...
This $312,341 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), funds the development of new algorithms and hardware to detect, mitigate, and fuse radio frequency interference (RFI) for radio astronomy observations. The research project, led by West Virginia University Research Corporation, aims to address the challenge of man-made radio interference that can obscure faint astronomical...
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 $700,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the development of cutting-edge circuit designs and signal processing algorithms to enhance the resilience of radio telescopes against radio frequency interference (RFI) from satellite transmissions. The primary goal is to enable the continued operation of radio astronomy service (RAS) in the presence of unavoidable RFI through a modulo sampling-based approach. The research...
The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) was awarded a $748,463 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences to develop electronically-reconfigurable surfaces for improved coexistence between radio astronomy and satellite communications systems. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA #47.049), which supports research to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in core areas of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for $187,021 on August 15, 2024. The funding supports a highly targeted, urgent, and short-term continuation of an existing program that studies the early universe by deploying instrumentation to remote, radio-quiet locations. Specifically, the project aims to make sensitive observations with unprecedented absolute...
This $732,034 Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support the development and deployment of an Operational Data Sharing (ODS) system to enable real-time spectrum sharing between radio astronomy observatories and satellite constellations. The primary objectives are to construct the ODS system and experiment with spectrum sharing between the Jansky Very Large Array in New Mexico, the Green Bank Telescope in...
