The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $114,917 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) for a 3-year collaborative research project from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The project aims to calculate accurate electron impact ionization and dielectronic recombination cross sections for heavy elements produced in neutron star mergers. These calculations will...
This $590,559 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a three-year research program led by Columbia University. The program aims to perform computer simulations that predict the radiation emitted from neutron star winds and how it propagates through the debris of stellar explosions. The research will also apply these calculations to spinning neutron stars created from the merger of...
This two-year, $610,363 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into nucleosynthesis in degenerate stars through the Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The principal investigator at the University of Notre Dame will estimate neutron star merger rates by analyzing elemental abundances in nearby galaxies. High school students will participate in the research during summer internships with stipends to promote inclusion. The investigator...
This $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences will fund research into the role of the dynamo effect in neutron star mergers from 2022 to 2025. As part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the grant supports efforts to elucidate the dynamo processes generated by instabilities in the pre-merger and post-merger phases of neutron star collisions. Insights into how accompanying magnetic...
This Project Grant award for $150,000 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research in gravitational wave astrophysics. The research aims to solve Einstein's equations numerically using simulations run on NSF-funded supercomputers to study the inspiral and merger of binary neutron star systems and the associated gravitational waves. The results will increase understanding of gravitational wave...
This $259,995 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of an open-source, GPU-enabled computational code for modeling the physics of compact object mergers, such as binary neutron star and black hole-neutron star collisions. The code will leverage advanced neutrino transport models and high-performance GPU computing to enable more accurate and scalable simulations of these...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports research on neutron star mergers and the multimessenger signals they generate. The $243,988 award to The Pennsylvania State University will fund the development of new techniques to predict the motion of matter in these extreme astrophysical events and model the resulting gravitational wave and electromagnetic signals. The research aims to enhance understanding of the physics...
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...
