This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences project grant of $248,151 will support high resolution optical interferometry studies of interacting binary star systems to better understand stellar evolution and the formation of neutron stars and black holes. Led by Dr. [PI name] at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, the team will use the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy array to collect interferometric data on known symbiotic binary stars...
This $525,731 National Science Foundation project grant will support the creation of precision models for a reference set of Mira variable stars. The New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will analyze archival data spanning several years from multiple space missions, along with recent observations, to provide fundamental parameters for each star. These parameters include variability periods, bolometric fluxes, radii, masses, luminosities, effective temperatures and distances. The work...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $441,642 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research program studying the final stages of stellar evolution, particularly focusing on the mass loss mechanisms in red giants. The research will utilize very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations across multiple frequencies, including measurements at unprecedented...

The research team, led by the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy (MIRA), will partner with researchers at Florida Gulf Coast University, the SETI Institute, the University of Maryland Baltimore...
This $118,673 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support a collaborative research project to study the interior structures of massive hot stars using polarimetric asteroseismology. Led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the project team includes researchers from the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, Florida Gulf Coast University, the SETI Institute, and the University of...
This $396,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports observational and laboratory studies of the evolution of circumstellar material from late-stage stellar evolution. The primary objectives are to: 1) Conduct a broadband millimeter-wave survey to analyze the carbon budget and isotope ratios in the carbon-rich envelope of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC+10216; 2) Perform laboratory measurements of the rotational...
This $258,736 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a collaborative research project to study nearby cosmic explosions from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae, incorporating new infrastructure to find even younger nearby supernovae. As part of this work, three graduate students will gain experience in...
