This $463,844 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Hawaii (UH) to continue operating the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). ASAS-SN is a global network of 20 telescopes that provides a comprehensive survey of the bright transient and variable sky, discovering approximately 300 supernovae per year. Through this award, UH will maintain and expand the ASAS-SN...
This $325,777 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey capabilities to promptly identify and study new supernovae in nearby galaxies, taking advantage of a network of small telescopes. This will enable the discovery of...
