This $303,516 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports a 4-year collaborative research program focused on improving understanding of explosive transient events in the distant universe. The research team, led by investigators at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), will develop new software and techniques to enable discoveries and characterization of these extreme astrophysical phenomena by combining data from gravitational wave, particle, and light-based observations. The project will provide training opportunities for students, as well as outreach and engagement activities with the LIGO Science Education Center and STEM programs in Louisiana. No subawards are planned under this grant.
