This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award provides funding for the University of Hawaii at Manoa to continue operating the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) over a 3-year period from 2024 to 2027. The $463,844 award supports ASAS-SN, a global network of 20 telescopes that surveys the entire visible night sky to discover and observe approximately 300 supernovae per year. The project also aims to detect other transient astronomical events, such as active galactic nuclei, tidal disruption events, and variable stars. ASAS-SN provides the astronomical community with a unique tool to obtain up-to-date optical light curves for any point in the sky, enabling new science across multiple subfields of astronomy.
