This $431,872 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research at the University of Maryland, College Park on the physical processes responsible for the generation of radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray emissions from pulsars. The research team will use advanced numerical simulations to investigate how pair plasma discharges and magnetic reconnection in pulsars lead to the production of coherent radio waves as...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant award of $286,524 to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) is focused on using simulations to generate testable predictions for the NASA ESPEX mission. The primary objectives are to: Collaborate with scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to generate synthetic observations from UNLV's simulation data to assist in the design of the ESPEX mission, which aims to study early star and planet...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program totaling $415,597 will fund research at Arizona State University on neutrino emission from stars from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The awardee will study neutrino production in stars across their life cycles using stellar evolution models spanning a wide range of initial masses. This will help analyze the impact of initial stellar composition, helium burning nuclear reaction rates, and...
This $244,369 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research to identify and characterize populations of massive stellar binary systems, composed of a black hole or neutron star and a massive star, in nearby low-metallicity dwarf galaxies. The project will use multiwavelength archival data to study these "high mass X-ray binaries" as analogs to similar systems that may have formed in the early universe....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $447,242 Project Grant to The Washington University in St. Louis to conduct research on the multi-wavelength emission of pulsars. The 3-year grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, will support a research team using direct numerical simulations to develop a unified theoretical model connecting plasma physics processes to observational data on these rapidly rotating, highly magnetized neutron stars. The research aims...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $410,796 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The grant, awarded on May 1, 2025, supports the development of a state-of-the-art experimental platform for high-resolution ion-neutral collision studies. Professor Zhou at UNLV will create a laboratory setting to replicate interstellar medium conditions, enabling precise manipulation and control of collision...
