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...
This $435,610 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research to investigate how second-generation planetesimals form in the dusty outflows of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, analyze the orbits of these planetesimal halos, and model the process of white dwarf pollution. The research aims to solve gaps in existing models of white dwarf pollution and...
The Macaulay Honors College Foundation received a $291,050 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on February 1, 2021 to support work understanding substellar atmospheres through December 31, 2021. The grant was awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $546,269 Project Grant to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The grant, funded under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research to study how star clusters form and disperse over time. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year award include: 1) developing semi-analytic models to predict cluster properties and mass loss; 2) comparing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $399,362 Project Grant to the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) to explore the physics of cloud formation and dynamics in the atmospheres of giant planets and brown dwarfs. The three-year research program will simulate cloudy atmospheric conditions on the four solar system giant planets as well as exoplanets and brown dwarfs, in order to improve understanding of temperature, chemical mixing, and patchiness...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $110,000 to support postdoctoral researcher Clara Brasseur's research and education activities at the Lowell Observatory. Brasseur will conduct a program of research focused on studying the connections between the magnetic field properties and observable characteristics of low-mass stars and ultracool dwarf stars. This work aims to develop scaling relations that...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) award of $220,000 to Sabrina Marbut Appel at the American Museum of Natural History will fund a research project to study the impact of protostellar jets on star cluster formation and evolution. The project will use numerical simulations to investigate how jets from newly forming stars can stir and disrupt nearby dense gas, affecting subsequent star...
This three-year, $263,272 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research to better understand galaxy cluster mergers through observational data and advanced hydrodynamical simulations of ten galaxy clusters. The California Institute of Technology will conduct deep, multi-probe observational studies of the selected clusters to map their total mass density, intracluster...
