This $148,567 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) to detect low-frequency gravitational waves. The principal investigator at the University of Montana will lead efforts to improve pulsar timing models, add new observatories to the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGRAV) dataset, and create combined International Pulsar Timing Array...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $392,056 to researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct multi-messenger studies of pulsars - rapidly spinning, highly magnetized neutron stars. The award supports analysis of data from the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory in Mexico, along with data from space- and ground-based experiments, to study the highest energy...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $416,409 will support research by West Virginia University Research Corporation to strengthen gravitational-wave and pulsar science using data from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope. The primary objectives are to: Characterize the stability of pulse morphology and noise properties for millisecond-period radio pulsars observed by the North American...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award provides $180,000.00 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The primary goal of the project is to develop novel numerical simulations and data-driven models to predict gravitational wave signals from mergers of black holes and neutron stars. This research will test Einstein's general relativity under extreme conditions and help maximize...
