- This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, CFDA 47.049, provides $652,781.00 to researchers at the University of Virginia to conduct a multi-scale suite of cosmological simulations to study the formation and growth of supermassive black holes. The key goals are to unveil the origins of these black holes, which represent one of the biggest gaps in understanding early galaxy assembly, and to identify detectable gravitational...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $150,150.00 to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to conduct research on extreme and eccentric binary black hole mergers. The key objectives are to produce and release gravitational waveforms from undersampled regions of the binary parameter space, employ them in parameter estimation, model the extreme dynamics of black hole binaries, and improve the...
- 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....
- This federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will enhance existing search strategies and analysis capabilities for discovering and characterizing the coalescence of compact binary systems, such as black holes and neutron stars. The $200,000 award, with a performance period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will fund four key activities: (i) extending multi-messenger Bayesian inference...
- This $517,162 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will enable researchers at the University of Colorado to conduct a three-year project focused on understanding the formation and evolution of pairs of supermassive black holes within the centers of large galaxies. The key objectives are to determine how these black hole pairs grow and evolve together with their host galaxies, as well as to study the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) will advance the understanding of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) and their role as multimessenger sources of gravitational waves (GWs) and X-ray emissions. The $510,590 award to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation will model the X-ray counterparts to the GW signals produced by inspiraling MBHBs. This work will lay the groundwork for observations, investigate...
