The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $366,329 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to University Enterprises, Inc. (UEI), doing business as Sacramento State Sponsored Research. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSF-BSF: WOU-MMA: RUI: FROM METERS TO PARSECS, FROM MILLISECONDS TO YEARS: A JOURNEY THROUGH SPACE AND TIME WITH BINARY MERGERS", aims to develop advanced numerical simulations of binary mergers between ultra-compact stellar remnants called neutron stars. The research team, led by investigators from California State University, Sacramento, Purdue University, and Northwestern University, will construct comprehensive "meter-to-parsec" models that connect the pre-merger state of neutron star-neutron star (NS-NS) or neutron star-black hole (NS-BH) binaries to the regions where observable photons are produced. This research will provide new tools to study general relativity, compact objects, neutron star equation of state, plasma physics, astrophysical jet physics, and nucleosynthesis. The project has two broader societal impacts: developing a globally competitive STEM workforce and improving STEM education for K-12 students.
