Project Grant 2508734
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $680,431 Project Grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the FAST and Fortunate for FRB Follow-up (F4) research team to conduct follow-up observations of hundreds of Fast Radio Bursts across the sky. Specifically, the team will acquire, analyze, and disseminate deep, multi-band imaging and spectroscopy of FRB...
- This Project Grant award of $129,033 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort between the University of California Santa Cruz, Northwestern University, and the Maria Mitchell Observatory (MMO) to conduct follow-up observations and studies of fast radio bursts (FRBs). The award will allow the "Fast and Fortunate for FRB Follow-up (F4)" research team to substantially increase the...
- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $279,914 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The goal of this 3-year collaborative research project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, is to develop new techniques to leverage the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio telescope in order to measure the large-scale structure of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $373,690 to Yale University to develop new techniques for mapping the universe using radio telescopes. The goal is to leverage the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) to make high-precision measurements of the large-scale structure of the universe and gain insights into "dark energy," the mysterious force causing the universe's expansion...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $528,905 to researchers at Yale University to develop and deploy advanced digital radio calibrators for 21cm cosmology measurements. The researchers will upgrade an existing calibration source, expand its capabilities, and focus on using it to precisely calibrate radio telescopes that measure neutral hydrogen in the universe to study dark energy. They will...
- This $186,148 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project to build the next-generation NanoGrav pulsar timing array using the DSA-2000 telescope. The project aims to advance the detection and characterization of low-frequency gravitational waves, which are produced by the merger of supermassive black holes in distant galaxies. Key products and services to be delivered...
- This $313,468 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research to build the next-generation North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) pulsar timing array using the DSA-2000 radio telescope. The project aims to continue observations of millisecond pulsars, which can detect low-frequency gravitational waves from the mergers of supermassive black holes in...
- This $457,976 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to develop a novel framework for constraining models of baryonic feedback in the universe. The research team at the University of Chicago will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to data from cosmic microwave background and galaxy surveys to gain insights into the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $222,693 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project to build the next-generation North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) pulsar timing array using the DSA-2000 radio telescope. The key objectives are to develop pulsar timing instrumentation and data processing pipelines, and commission this infrastructure on the DSA-2000...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Harvard University to use Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) to map the distribution of cosmic baryons, the missing ordinary matter in the universe. The $417,136 award, spanning from December 2025 to November 2028, will leverage a growing catalog of localized FRBs observed by the Deep Synoptic Array (DSA-110) radio telescope to measure the baryon content of the cosmic web. The research team will create interactive 3D visualizations to engage the public and scientific community in this investigation to mature the field of FRB cosmology and prepare for the next generation of radio telescopes like the DSA-2000. This award aims to address the longstanding "missing baryon problem" in astronomy by using FRBs as a novel cosmological probe.
