Project Grant 2510383
- This Project Grant award of $237,593 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund a collaborative astronomical research project between Georgia State University, Bridgewater State University, and Southern Connecticut State University. The project will conduct speckle imaging observations of approximately 5,000 nearby stars within 40 parsecs of the Sun, focusing on K and M dwarf stars. This will enable the researchers to study the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $150,249.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports a collaborative research project between Georgia State University, Bridgewater State University, and Southern Connecticut State University. The "Collaborative Research: RUI: Speckle Surveys of Nearby Stars" project will observe a sample of nearly 5,000 stars across the sky using speckle imaging techniques. The observations will focus on K dwarf and M...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will provide $415,315 to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. to precisely measure the sizes and temperatures of stars in nearby double-star systems. The research team will use a specialized telescope called an interferometer to gather high-precision data on the angular diameters of at least 24 stars in 14 binary systems. This data will be combined with...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $493,670 Project Grant to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds research to explore the long-term behavior of nearby red dwarfs. As the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise, this...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $105,646, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a collaborative research project led by Seattle University. The research aims to confirm the origins of stars in the Milky Way's metal-poor bulge by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of candidate globular cluster tidal debris stars. The project will involve obtaining detailed observations of...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $145,866, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The funding will support a collaborative research project to study the internal structures of massive hot stars, the greatest sources of energy and new material in the galaxy, through the application of a new technique called polarimetric asteroseismology. The research team, comprised of astronomers...
- This Project Grant award of $118,673 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project focused on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." A team of astronomers from the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, Florida Gulf Coast University, SETI Institute, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and University of Wisconsin-Madison, along with international partners, will...
- This $462,120 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to analyze the chemical profiles of dwarf stars and their exoplanets. The primary objectives are to: (a) develop a public, data-driven tool to precisely derive stellar elemental abundances from spectroscopic data; (b) measure elemental abundances for high-priority exoplanet host stars; and (c) produce exoplanetary atmosphere models accounting...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $358,311 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct collaborative research on identifying the best stars for direct imaging planet surveys and performing an initial search to discover planets orbiting other stars. The research aims to identify isolated stars less than 1 billion years old, determine their ages, and target some of these young stars to search for new...
- This $179,648 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Arizona. The project aims to explore the role of nature versus nurture in the formation of multiple star systems, in contrast to our own single-star solar system. The research team will use computer models incorporating physics like gravity, turbulence, radiation, and stellar...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort between Georgia State University, Bridgewater State University, and Southern Connecticut State University. The $399,130 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will fund a project to observe a sample of nearly 5,000 nearby stars using speckle imaging techniques. The observations will focus on K dwarf and M dwarf stars within 40 and 20 parsecs of the Sun, respectively, to study their stellar environments and detect any companion stars. This work aims to determine how unusual our Sun is in its "stellar solitude" and identify stars that may host other solar systems. The project is student-intensive, providing opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to gain expertise in astronomy, physics, mathematics, and engineering through their involvement in the data acquisition, reduction, and analysis. The speckle imaging surveys will be conducted primarily at the Apache Point Observatory 3.5m telescope and the SOAR 4.1m telescope.
