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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $498,205 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The purpose of the grant is to advance understanding of the unique geometrical imprints of Type Ia supernova explosions and their progenitor systems. The research team at FSU will incorporate new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope and ground-based spectropolarimetry programs...
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 Physics Project Grant, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, was awarded to the University of Tennessee in the amount of $330,000 on August 1, 2023. The project will conduct state-of-the-art simulations to differentiate electron-capture and core-collapse supernovae, modeling the formation of neutron stars, neutrino emission, and nucleosynthesis. The detailed nuclear reaction network models will be extended through...
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 $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...
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 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...
