The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences has awarded a $644,032 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on reconstructing the early formation history of the Milky Way galaxy. The research, funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will observe the oldest known metal-poor stars in the galaxy using high-resolution spectroscopy. This will allow the investigator to characterize the sites...
This $421,175 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports a research project titled "The Emergence of Star Clusters: Insights from Artificial Intelligence." The project aims to better understand the physical mechanisms of star formation by analyzing data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array and the James Webb Space Telescope to measure the timescales for clearing natal gas from newly formed stellar clusters....
This $306,464 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will develop "DECIPHER: Deep Computer Vision in the Astrophysics of Planet Formation." The project aims to create a machine learning tool that can detect and measure the mass of exoplanets forming in protoplanetary disks from observational data. This cross-disciplinary effort will leverage advances in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant, CFDA #47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, is funding Drexel University to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems that will optimize the search for electromagnetic signals accompanying gravitational wave events detected by advanced detectors. The $341,248 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to create an AI agent that can adaptively learn to make the best...
This $214,449 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to investigate local gravity disturbances and develop techniques to mitigate their impact on the next-generation Cosmic Explorer gravitational wave observatory. The research aims to enable Cosmic Explorer to achieve its low-frequency sensitivity targets, which will allow...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for $187,021 on August 15, 2024. The funding supports a highly targeted, urgent, and short-term continuation of an existing program that studies the early universe by deploying instrumentation to remote, radio-quiet locations. Specifically, the project aims to make sensitive observations with unprecedented absolute...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $207,876 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to President and Fellows of Harvard College. This grant will support the development, testing, and application of machine learning (ML) algorithms and pipelines for the photometric classification of optical transients from current and future astronomical surveys. The key products and services to be delivered under this project include: (i) combining...
This three-year, $110,972 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support the development of new statistical and machine learning methods and software to improve the detection, characterization, and classification of astrophysical objects using multi-epoch imaging survey data. The California Institute of Technology will apply innovative algorithms to optimize the discovery...
This $153,169 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at Saint Martins University that aims to study the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The research team, comprising investigators from four primarily undergraduate institutions, will obtain detailed observations of 3,000 stars to measure their...
