This $124,631 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports a collaborative research project to study supermassive black holes and relativistic jets. The 5-year project, starting September 1, 2024, will be conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan. Key objectives include determining the number of binary supermassive black holes in the early universe, studying the structure and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $500,133 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. Through this grant, the research team will conduct a systematic study of the diverse outflows that occur during tidal disruption events, when a star is scattered into the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. The researchers will use radio and millimeter observations to track the evolution of...
This $329,290 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Maryland Baltimore County to improve understanding of outflows from accreting supermassive black holes and their impact on host environments. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, the three-year award will coordinate multiwavelength observations using the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System in Arizona and other observatories. Researchers will pair...
This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $328,865 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to conduct research under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The goal of the research is to improve understanding of the mechanisms of accretion onto supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) through echo mapping and radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations....
This federal Project Grant award of $359,264, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports collaborative research to investigate signatures of warped accretion disks and jets around supermassive black holes. The principal investigators will leverage improvements to the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) array and advanced image reconstruction algorithms to analyze observations for evidence of disk warping. They will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $382,463 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to conduct collaborative research on detecting signatures of warped accretion disks and jets around supermassive black holes. The 3-year project leverages recent improvements to the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) array and advances in machine learning-based image reconstruction algorithms, as well as...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $136,184 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a collaborative research study on black hole-driven turbulence in massive galactic systems. The goal is to better understand the "feedback" provided by accreting supermassive black holes and their impact on star formation within galaxies. The research team will use a variety...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $496,234 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund collaborative research to explore the formation and growth of supermassive black holes through variability and transients observations. Researchers will use data from the Young Supernova Experiment imaging survey to identify intermediate mass black holes and study...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $153,355 Project Grant to the University of Alaska Anchorage under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance the understanding of the relationship between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The 3-year award will support a comprehensive study of the regions surrounding black holes in a large sample of nearby active galactic nuclei. Key activities include measuring the distribution and motions of molecular,...
