- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded $300,000 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for a three-year project grant spanning August 15, 2025 through July 31, 2028. The award supports fundamental research investigating anomalous phase transitions in complex systems, with a focus on analyzing bifurcations that mediate sudden qualitative changes in large-scale...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $422,670 Project Grant to the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy (MIRA) to support a collaborative research effort on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars". This research project, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, aims to determine the interior structures of massive hot stars by applying a new technique called polarimetric asteroseismology. The collaboration...
- This $560,337 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research at the University of Arizona focused on improving our understanding of how convective mixing impacts the nature of gas giant exoplanet atmospheres. The project aims to develop computational simulation tools to investigate the physical, evolutionary, and observational consequences of convection for gas giant worlds, which...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $447,644 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) for the "CAREER: CHARTING THE FORMATION, TRANSFORMATION, AND DESTINIES OF GAS AND YOUNG STARS IN THE SOLAR NEIGHBORHOOD" project. The project aims to produce an integrated 3D model of gas and young stars in the solar neighborhood, enabling high-resolution comparisons between galactic and...
- This Project Grant award of $118,673 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project focused on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." A team of astronomers from the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, Florida Gulf Coast University, SETI Institute, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and University of Wisconsin-Madison, along with international partners, will...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded $285,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota for a project grant titled "Critical Phenomena in Coherent Structure Formation." The grant supports research from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025 to develop new analytical and computational tools to systematically analyze, predict, and validate models of self-organized coherent...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $311,243 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The award will support collaborative 3-D stellar hydrodynamics research to improve understanding of convection and convective boundary mixing in massive stars. The researchers will apply a new 1-D convection model to better estimate main sequence lifetimes and the exchange of matter/energy between adjacent burning shells within stellar cores. The funding will also enable the development of instructional software and modules for undergraduate and high school students, as well as support summer research opportunities for undergraduate students. Simulation data will be made openly available to other researchers. The award period is from December 1, 2023 to November 30, 2026. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
