This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), aims to establish a collaboration between the University of Hawaii (UH) and Duke University to advance supernova cosmology research. The $277,608 award will support activities to: Leverage UH-led supernova discovery surveys, such as Pan-STARRS and ATLAS, to significantly reduce key systematic uncertainties in cosmological parameters. This will be achieved by...
This $345,303 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports collaborative research by scientists at the University of Hawaii and the University of Chicago. The researchers will analyze data from multiple state-of-the-art astronomical surveys, including the Dark Energy Survey (DES), South Pole Telescope (SPT), and Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), to obtain precise and unbiased constraints on the properties of the universe....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $343,572 supports the completion and early analysis of the Hawaii-Two-0 (H20) Survey through September 2025. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award enables an ultra-deep, multi-wavelength galaxy survey across two 10-square degree regions. The H20 Survey will image an unprecedented 500,000 high-redshift Lyman break galaxies, 12,000 quiescent systems, and 50-100 proto-clusters between redshifts 3-7...
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $426,848 supports the Hawaii-Two-0 (H20) Survey, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The H20 Survey will complete ultra-deep, multi-wavelength imaging of two 10-square degree regions to identify over 500,000 high-redshift Lyman break galaxies, 12,000 quiescent systems, and 50-100 proto-clusters between redshifts 3-7. Follow-up spectroscopy with Keck Observatory will measure photometric redshift...
The University of Hawaii (UH) received a $133,700 Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 43.001). The award, effective March 29, 2024, supports a 3-year research project titled "RESTORING COSMOLOGICAL CONCORDANCE EARLY DARK ENERGY AND THE COSMIC TENSIONS" that aims to expand scientific knowledge through theoretical modeling, simulations, and data analysis related to...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $697,010 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund the "CATCH A FADING STAR: USING TRANSIENT DIMMING TO EXPLORE THE PLANET-FORMING ZONES OF YOUNG STARS" research project being conducted from September 2021 through August 2024. The project aims to use observations of temporary dimming events caused by dust clouds around young stars to explore...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $360,623 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant, awarded on June 15, 2025, supports a research project titled "The Formation and Disruption of Resonant Chains Within Our Galaxy." The research combines observations, data analysis, and numerical simulations to study the formation and evolution of close-in, multi-planet systems around Sun-like stars....
This $717,600 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to better understand the nature of dark energy and the expansion of the universe. The principal investigator will use the Young Supernova Experiment to measure a uniform sample of Type Ia supernovae in the nearby universe and develop novel methods for determining cosmological parameters. They will also identify Type Ia supernovae in distant...
