This $396,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports observational and laboratory studies of the evolution of circumstellar material from late-stage stellar evolution. The primary objectives are to: 1) Conduct a broadband millimeter-wave survey to analyze the carbon budget and isotope ratios in the carbon-rich envelope of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC+10216; 2) Perform laboratory measurements of the rotational...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will provide $562,230 to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to conduct research on red supergiant stars using optical interferometry. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: 1) high-resolution imaging of red supergiant stellar surfaces to study changes in convection and mass-loss over their...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $526,998 to Yale University to conduct research on the star formation process. The primary objectives are to: Use millimeter-wave observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to probe the structure and evolution of star-forming regions, specifically examining how material is funneled from...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences project grant of $248,151 will support high resolution optical interferometry studies of interacting binary star systems to better understand stellar evolution and the formation of neutron stars and black holes. Led by Dr. [PI name] at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, the team will use the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy array to collect interferometric data on known symbiotic binary stars over a...
This $145,866 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund a collaborative research initiative on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." The project aims to determine the interior structures of these stars by observing seismic waves and applying a new polarimetric technique. The research team, comprising astronomers from Florida Gulf Coast University, Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, SETI...
This Project Grant award of $118,673 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project focused on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." A team of astronomers from the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, Florida Gulf Coast University, SETI Institute, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and University of Wisconsin-Madison, along with international partners, will...
This $525,731 National Science Foundation project grant will support the creation of precision models for a reference set of Mira variable stars. The New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will analyze archival data spanning several years from multiple space missions, along with recent observations, to provide fundamental parameters for each star. These parameters include variability periods, bolometric fluxes, radii, masses, luminosities, effective temperatures and distances. The work...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $304,225 to the University of Florida and the University of Chicago from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to advance understanding of stellar formation history through non-local thermodynamic equilibrium modeling of elemental abundances in metal-poor red giant stars. Specifically, the universities will...
This $346,372 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to better understand the interaction between interstellar gas, supernova explosions, and massive young stars in nearby galaxies. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will support observation, processing, and analysis associated with the Local Group L-Band Survey, an 1,800-hour Very Large Array survey of six northern Local Group galaxies including Andromeda. The survey will...
