- This Project Grant award for $150,000 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research in gravitational wave astrophysics. The research aims to solve Einstein's equations numerically using simulations run on NSF-funded supercomputers to study the inspiral and merger of binary neutron star systems and the associated gravitational waves. The results will increase understanding of gravitational wave...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $510,000 to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to develop new GPU-enabled algorithms and computational tools for accurately modeling the merger process of binary black hole and neutron star systems. The award aims to leverage both Cartesian and curvilinear coordinate systems to enhance the stability and accuracy of these simulations, enabling...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $390,977 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) for the collaborative research project "One Step Back and Two Steps Forward: Understanding Gravitational Wave Progenitors by Leveraging Binary Stars in the Local Universe". The project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will investigate the formation of merging double compact...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support and extend ongoing research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on the dynamics of binary black hole systems and the characterization of the gravitational waves they produce. The $360,000 award, spanning August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will fund projects to improve the understanding of how black holes in binary systems interact and how...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $437,486 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to examine gravitational wave emission from compact object binaries in galactic nuclei. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem will analyze physical processes that can lead to or suppress mergers of compact objects like black holes and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $246,406 in funding to Purdue University from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The award supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and Israeli researchers to develop detailed numerical simulations of binary mergers of compact stellar objects like neutron stars and black holes. The research aims to connect pre-merger conditions to the observed emissions and properties of the merger events across multiple wavelengths. This will enable improved interpretation of gravitational wave and multi-messenger observations, as well as distinguish between merger remnants like black holes and neutron stars. The project also has broader impacts in developing a competitive STEM workforce and improving K-12 STEM education.
