The Pennsylvania State University received a $317,977 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The project, titled "THE FINAL STEP: ESTABLISHING THE RELATIONS BETWEEN BLACK-HOLE GROWTH AND HOST-GALAXY PROPERTIES DURING THE LAST HALF OF COSMIC TIME," aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences by increasing understanding of major problems...
This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $153,355 Project Grant to the University of Alaska Anchorage under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance the understanding of the relationship between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The 3-year award will support a comprehensive study of the regions surrounding black holes in a large sample of nearby active galactic nuclei. Key activities include measuring the distribution and motions of molecular,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $159,547 supports a collaborative research effort to study the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The research aims to determine the merger rates of these black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations, investigate black hole growth during the peak period of activity, and map the complete history of black hole accretion. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, CFDA 47.049, provides $506,976 to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. to support research on supermassive black holes. The primary objectives are to map the flows of gas into and out of the centers of accreting supermassive black holes using a combination of reverberation mapping and X-ray spectroscopy techniques. This research will address key questions about how black...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has awarded The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) a $599,488 project grant titled "Discovering Neutron Stars and Black Holes with LIGO." The three-year grant, effective from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, will support research in relativity and relativistic astrophysics, focused on analyzing data from the NSF's Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $234,319 to Penn State University from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research between Penn State University and Vanderbilt University to conduct the benchmark measurement of quasar spectroscopic variability and implications for supermassive black hole binaries and changing-look...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project that aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies. The $588,357 award, effective September 1, 2024, will be utilized by Yale University to pursue three key objectives: 1) determine SMBH merger rates and relate them to gravitational wave observations, 2)...
This $434,573 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences will support a collaborative research program at Pennsylvania State University to trace cosmic structures using galaxies, quasars, and gas at "cosmic noon" - the period ~10 billion years in the past when the universe was only about 1/4 its present size and key processes like star formation and black hole activity peaked. The researchers will combine data from several large...
The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $496,234 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund collaborative research to explore the formation and growth of supermassive black holes through variability and transients observations. Researchers will use data from the Young Supernova Experiment imaging survey to identify intermediate mass black holes and study...
