This $570,112 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund collaborative research to enhance the capabilities of open-source PyFHD software for data analysis of direct imaging radio telescopes. The investigators will add new functionality to PyFHD to enable the radio astronomy community to demonstrate the science performance of these next-generation radio telescopes and facilitate their evaluation for future proposals. Additionally, the grant will support public outreach through EPIC TV, providing real-time views of the radio sky as observed by the Long Wavelength Array in New Mexico. The award will also provide research experiences for non-traditional undergraduate students to diversify the STEM workforce. The project period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
