The investigators will use advanced computer simulations to study these powerful cosmic events where jets shoot out from the vicinity of supermassive black holes, in order to unlock the secrets of these...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) is providing $300,000.00 to Texas A&M University to investigate the role of nuclear many-body correlations and mean fields in modifying neutrino absorption and scattering rates in supernova environments. The 3-year project (9/1/2025 - 8/31/2028) aims to develop new statistical inference tools for propagating uncertainties in the nuclear force to observable...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to The Ohio State University from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports a program of theoretical work in neutrino astrophysics led by the principal investigator. The research has three main thrusts: studying solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and high-energy neutrinos. The goal is to advance the understanding of nuclear physics processes in astrophysical objects and drive breakthroughs in multi-messenger astronomy and beyond-the-standard-model physics. The project aims to train junior scientists and engage the public, including under-represented groups like the deaf and hard of hearing. This award aligns with NSF's objectives under the "Windows on the Universe: The Era of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics" Big Idea initiative.
