- 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 (NSF) awarded a $449,190 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc. (LCO) to expand access to authentic astronomy research experiences for underrepresented undergraduate students. The "USA SKY Partners" program, managed by LCO, will provide a curriculum, training, and mentoring for faculty as well as access to LCO's global network of 0.4m robotic...
- 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 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $304,783 Project Grant to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. to support the REU SITE: ASTRONOMY AND PHYSICS AT GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY: FROM THE LARGEST TO SMALLEST SCALES IN THE UNIVERSE program from November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2024. The grant supports the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $422,670 Project Grant to the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy (MIRA) to support a collaborative research effort on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars". This research project, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, aims to determine the interior structures of massive hot stars by applying a new technique called polarimetric asteroseismology. The collaboration...
- This three-year, $542,317 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of an integral field unit speckle imager by researchers at Southern Connecticut State University. Funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), this innovative new astronomical instrument will enable hyperspectral speckle imaging to precisely measure the properties of close binary star systems and characterize exoplanets orbiting binary stars. By collecting visible...
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 dwarf stars within 40 and 20 parsecs of the Sun, respectively, to study their stellar environments and companion stars. This work will provide benchmark measurements of the luminosity function, mass function, multiplicity rates, masses, mass-luminosity relations, and orbital architectures of these nearby stars. The project is student-intensive, with graduate and undergraduate students from the three universities participating in the research and an outreach effort called "Why Resolution Matters." The speckle imaging surveys will be conducted primarily at the APO 3.5M and SOAR 4.1M telescopes and will produce legacy data sets for future ground and space-based research.
