This $604,321 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) will support research to computationally characterize the production and generation of the cations CO+, N2+, and CO2+ in cometary atmospheres. The project aims to provide new volatile diagnostics for ground-based astronomy and a better understanding of the role of these ions in cometary atmospheres. The work will train graduate students and early career...
This Project Grant award of $163,524 from the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) under the Science program (CFDA 43.001) supports research by American University on "COMET CHEMISTRY BEYOND THE H2O SUBLIMATION ZONE: INTERFEROMETRIC IMAGING AND SPECTROSCOPY OF DISTANT COMETS." The project will conduct scientific investigations and observations of distant comets to expand understanding of their chemical composition and evolution beyond the H2O sublimation zone. The research will...
This $597,879 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support the "Faster, Better, Deeper: Discovery and Study of the Faintest Kuiper Belt Objects Using Novel Computational Tools" project. The project aims to extend previous work and enhance detection sensitivity to discover fainter trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in the outer solar system. The team will produce source catalogs of...
This $120,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports fundamental research on gravitational astrophysics and computational methods to advance scientific understanding of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The award will fund a series of research projects at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) focused on developing new...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $598,336 to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to advance hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy evolution and the coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The research aims to overcome limitations of current cosmological simulations by: 1) integrating detailed interstellar medium physics and sub-parsec scale black hole accretion and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to reconstruct primordial density fluctuations using near-field cosmology. The key product of this $419,979 award, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027, will be an efficient and accurate model for predicting the Milky...
This $363,623 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research effort between the City University of New York Queens College and Penn State Scranton. The primary objective is to develop and apply a new "seismic technique" that combines precision measurements of pulsating white dwarf stars with Gaia parallax data to accurately determine their masses and effective...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PROTOCOMETS TO PROTOPLANETS: CONNECTING THE CHEMICAL ECOSYSTEMS OF PLANET-FORMING DISKS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM", will support research to characterize the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in disks surrounding new-born stars. The $213,635 award, effective September 15, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will utilize data from ground-based observatories like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Keck...
This Project Grant award, valued at $180,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, Davis. The grant will support research aimed at better understanding the combinatorics of amplituhedra and related mathematical objects called cluster varieties. The principal investigator will work with collaborators to resolve conjectures on the relationship between tilings of amplituhedra...
This Project Grant award, valued at $481,791.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award aims to investigate the physical origin of satellite planes around the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies, which do not yet have a compelling explanation within the current Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm of galaxy formation. The key objectives of this 3-year project include: 1) Developing models...
