- 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...
- This $407,331 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research on magnetospheric accretion around magnetized stars. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) will conduct first-principle numerical simulations to study how neutron stars produce X-ray pulsars and ultraluminous X-ray sources, as well as how young stars and planets evolve within their environments. The research will include four key simulation...
- 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...
