The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $330,000 Postdoctoral Fellowship under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Danielle Frostig at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. This 3-year project will fund Frostig's research program to conduct near-infrared surveys of potential sites of heavy element formation via r-process synthesis, including neutron star mergers, gamma-ray burst afterglows, and exotic supernovae. The project will also support...
The National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop data acquisition and analysis procedures to exploit the scientific capabilities of the upgraded Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) prototype located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory. The project aims to measure astrophysical particle accelerators that are likely sources of neutrinos and gravitational waves, supporting...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,346,976 provides funding from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports Cornell University to develop 350 GHz instrumentation to characterize galactic dust polarization using the upcoming CCAT-Prime telescope. Professor McMahon's team at Cornell will oversee anti-reflection coating and lens shaping for the 350 GHz instrumentation. The University of Chicago...
This three-year, $330,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049), will support the development of a novel multi-object, high-resolution spectrograph without compromising spectral resolution or coverage. Ronald A. López, as an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will apply microwave kinetic inductance...
This $497,849 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support the development of a sub-Kelvin testbed system to characterize novel on-chip far-infrared (FIR) integrated spectrometer devices. The testbed will enable critical device testing and characterization, a crucial step in advancing this next-generation spectrometer technology. This project aims to create a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, with a total funding of $584,487, supports a research project entitled "Millimeter-Wavelength Transients and Sources with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and the Simons Observatory - Precision Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation." The project aims to develop software pipelines to identify and study variable millimeter-wave sources, such as...
This $304,670 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support the development of a framework for analyzing time-resolved spectroscopic data. The awardee, Cornell University Office of Sponsored Programs, will develop algorithms to disentangle stellar activity signals from planetary signals in time-resolved spectral data from searches for Earth-like exoplanets. Specifically, the project aims to model single or multiple...
This three-year, four hundred twenty-six thousand seven hundred forty-eight dollar Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research at Cornell University to combine measurements from cosmic microwave background experiments and galaxy clustering surveys to probe the nature of gravity, dark matter, and neutrinos in the universe. Key products will include the highest signal-to-noise pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich measurements to date...
