- The National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop data acquisition and analysis procedures to exploit the scientific capabilities of the upgraded Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) prototype located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory. The project aims to measure astrophysical particle accelerators that are likely sources of neutrinos and gravitational waves, supporting...
- 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...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $367,088 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. The grant will fund the upgrade and modernization of the university's 32-inch diameter telescope at the Dark Sky Observatory. Key upgrades include: Acquiring a new high-quantum efficiency CCD camera for the primary spectrograph Installing a fiber-optic bundle to move the mini-echelle spectrograph to a bench-mount...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $3,904,416 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to develop, fabricate, and install the optical alignment systems for the initial seven medium-sized telescopes for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory. This project supports U.S. CTA scientists in this work, which will be conducted at the telescope sites in La Palma, Spain, Paranal, Chile, and...
- 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $734,468 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to a research collaboration between the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the American Museum of Natural History. With this funding, the team will add two new telescopes to the existing Condor Array Telescope in New Mexico, significantly enhancing its capabilities to obtain, analyze, and interpret observations spanning the entire northern sky. The project will focus on several important science topics, including studying the cosmic web of intergalactic gas and observing gamma-ray burst afterglows. Additionally, the team will produce a one-hour documentary exploring the interaction between scientific inquiry and the cultural history of the region, particularly the Apache people, and incorporate the survey images into a Hayden Planetarium space show.
