- This $325,777 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey capabilities to promptly identify and study new supernovae in nearby galaxies, taking advantage of a network of small telescopes. This will enable the discovery of...
- This two-year, $610,363 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into nucleosynthesis in degenerate stars through the Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The principal investigator at the University of Notre Dame will estimate neutron star merger rates by analyzing elemental abundances in nearby galaxies. High school students will participate in the research during summer internships with stipends to promote inclusion. The investigator...
- This $258,736 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team at Rutgers, The State University will enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae, incorporating new infrastructure to identify even younger nearby supernovae. As part of this work, three...
- This $379,797 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences supports research on electron impact ionization and recombination processes for heavy elements produced in neutron star mergers. The project aims to calculate accurate cross sections for these key astrophysical plasma ionization mechanisms, which will help astronomers better interpret the spectra of kilonovae - the transient electromagnetic emissions from neutron star...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $303,516 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to develop software and conduct research on explosive transients in the distant universe. The 4-year research program, running from March 2025 to August 2028, will leverage data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the Interplanetary Network, and the International Gravitational Wave Network to enable new...
- This $374,699 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund a 4-year collaborative research program led by investigators at Louisiana State University, Harvard University, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and University of Maryland, College Park. The research aims to improve the understanding of explosive transients in the distant universe by...
- This $457,396 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund collaborative research to create computer models of the earliest galaxies and supermassive black holes in the universe. The research aims to better explain recent observations of distant, massive galaxies that current models cannot fully account for. Through advanced simulations using the ENZO-E code, the project will investigate the...
- This $440,757 federal Project Grant awarded by the Division of Astronomical Sciences, part of the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), supports a 3-year research program at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. The project aims to develop novel and accurate theoretical models to interpret observations of relativistic cosmic explosions, such as fast blue optical transients and events near supermassive black holes. Key activities include...
- This $539,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support research into the unexpectedly high number of bright, rapidly star-forming galaxies observed at the cosmic dawn. The award recipient, Princeton University, will conduct simulations and analytical modeling to understand the physical conditions that could explain these observations, particularly in the context of massive dark matter halos at high redshift. The research aims...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $387,371 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant will support research to study the properties of Population III stars, which are the first generation of stars in the universe formed from only the elements produced during the Big Bang. The project will conduct comprehensive spectral analysis of 341 metal-poor stars in the Milky Way galaxy to indirectly...
