- This federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will enhance existing search strategies and analysis capabilities for discovering and characterizing the coalescence of compact binary systems, such as black holes and neutron stars. The $200,000 award, with a performance period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will fund four key activities: (i) extending multi-messenger Bayesian inference...
- This $590,559 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a three-year research program led by Columbia University. The program aims to perform computer simulations that predict the radiation emitted from neutron star winds and how it propagates through the debris of stellar explosions. The research will also apply these calculations to spinning neutron stars created from the merger of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $371,816 to a research team led by Northwestern University to develop numerical simulations of binary mergers of ultra-compact stellar remnants called neutron stars. The goal is to construct comprehensive models spanning the full length and time scales of these merger events, connecting the pre-merger state of the neutron stars to the regions where the observed photons are produced. This will enable better interpretation of observables from gravitational wave events and help distinguish between neutron star and black hole engines powering short gamma-ray bursts. The project has broader impacts in developing a globally competitive STEM workforce and improving STEM education for K-12 students. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
