The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $281,080 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC) for the collaborative research project "Mapping the Universe in Neutral Hydrogen with CHIME". The 3-year project, starting September 1, 2025, aims to develop new techniques to leverage the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio telescope to make high-precision measurements of the large-scale structure of the universe using observations of hydrogen gas. Key objectives include reducing foreground contamination, improving beam models, and implementing advanced radio-frequency interference excision algorithms to enable detection of dark energy from 21cm intensity mapping. The project will also expand outreach programs to teach high school and college students about astronomy and scientific thinking.
