This $590,559 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research by a team led by the Principal Investigator at Columbia University. The project aims to perform computer simulations to predict the radiation emitted from neutron star winds and how it propagates, including for neutron star mergers that are sources of gravitational waves. The research program will provide training for undergraduate students and host an international workshop on gravitational wave astrophysics. The findings will enable predictions for the emission from binary neutron star mergers that may be detected by observatories like LIGO/Virgo. This project advances scientific knowledge and supports the development of future researchers in the field of stellar explosions and gravitational wave astrophysics.
