- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $291,944 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York, operating as Stony Brook University. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will fund a collaborative research project focused on three key science objectives: 1) Imaging the "cosmic web" of intergalactic gas, 2) Searching for ancient stellar nova shells, and 3) Obtaining deep...
- The American Museum of Natural History received a $176,636 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete work by August 31, 2023. The grant supports the "Collaborative Research: The Condor Southern Sky Survey (Plus Northern Extension)" under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The project aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences by increasing scientific...
- 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...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate the evolution of the Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way. The project aims to map the Magellanic Clouds and their periphery to search for evidence of past interactions between the clouds or with smaller accreted systems. By...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $595,237 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to support continuing operations of two astronomical imagers for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. Under the award, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory will utilize two telescope-mounted digital cameras to provide observational data and imagery for scientific research projects in cosmology,...
- 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 $387,470 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to support a collaborative research project between the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the American Museum of Natural History. The funding will enable the expansion of the Condor Array Telescope in New Mexico, significantly enhancing its capabilities to obtain, analyze, and interpret a variety of astronomical observations across the northern sky. Key activities include: The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
