This $431,872 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research at the University of Maryland, College Park on the physical processes responsible for the generation of radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray emissions from pulsars. The research team will use advanced numerical simulations to investigate how pair plasma discharges and magnetic reconnection in pulsars lead to the production of coherent radio waves as...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $392,056 to researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct multi-messenger studies of pulsars - rapidly spinning, highly magnetized neutron stars. The award supports analysis of data from the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory in Mexico, along with data from space- and ground-based experiments, to study the highest energy...
The National Science Foundation awarded The Washington University $299,131 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for a two-year project grant concluding August 2024. The university will leverage expertise in astrophysics, statistics, and plasma physics to develop new tools analyzing multi-band time series data from radio, optical, and gamma-ray telescopes. A library of simulated light curves will be generated and novel diagnostic techniques created to characterize...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) project grant for $131,871 awarded to Yale University will contribute to an empirical model of the stochastic gravitational wave background expected to be detected through pulsar timing array observations. The project will: Use observations of quasar luminosity functions and dual active galactic nuclei to build an empirical model of the cosmological distribution of supermassive black hole binaries, which...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $407,331 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, on behalf of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The grant, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will support advanced numerical simulations of magnetospheric accretion around magnetized stars. The research aims to study how neutron stars produce X-ray pulsars and...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $280,902 supports research at Michigan State University from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The university will undertake optical surveys of unidentified gamma-ray sources using the Southern Astrophysical Research 4.3-meter telescope to discover new millisecond pulsars, which are rapidly rotating neutron stars that may be gaining spin from companion stars. The surveys aim...
This Project Grant award, valued at $148,567.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049).
