- This $524,548 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project on rotational evolution and angular momentum transport in K dwarf stars. The project will develop new computer models to understand why certain K dwarf stars (with temperatures between 3,900-5,300 K) display unexpected rotational behavior and persistent magnetic activity as they age, in contrast with the expected slower...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $311,243 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The award will support collaborative 3-D stellar hydrodynamics research to improve understanding of convection and convective boundary mixing in massive stars. The researchers will apply a new 1-D convection model to better estimate main...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $114,917 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) for a 3-year collaborative research project from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The project aims to calculate accurate electron impact ionization and dielectronic recombination cross sections for heavy elements produced in neutron star mergers. These calculations will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $509,959 Project Grant to the University of California, Merced under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. This collaborative research grant will support a study on the evolving dynamics of star clusters within Milky Way-like galaxies. The research team will analyze advanced computer simulations to track the orbital dynamics and evolution of open star clusters, examining how the changing galactic environment...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort between Georgia State University, Bridgewater State University, and Southern Connecticut State University. The $399,130 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will fund a project to observe a sample of nearly 5,000 nearby stars using speckle imaging techniques. The observations will focus on K dwarf...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $714,580 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Missouri State University. The grant, titled "RUI: UNDERSTANDING THE CORES OF HORIZONTAL BRANCH STARS VIA MESA, GAIA, AND ASTEROSEISMOLOGY," aims to deepen the understanding of horizontal branch stars, a critical phase in stellar evolution. The research team will use observations and advanced modeling techniques to probe the internal...
- The University of Delaware received a three-year, $541,852 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) and supports collaborative research on new models of stellar evolution to understand the past, present, and future of magnetic massive stars. Through this funding, the University will deliver research examining stellar structure and life cycles through the...
- This Project Grant award of $237,593 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund a collaborative astronomical research project between Georgia State University, Bridgewater State University, and Southern Connecticut State University. The project will conduct speckle imaging observations of approximately 5,000 nearby stars within 40 parsecs of the Sun, focusing on K and M dwarf stars. This will enable the researchers to study the...
- This $560,337 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research at the University of Arizona focused on improving our understanding of how convective mixing impacts the nature of gas giant exoplanet atmospheres. The project aims to develop computational simulation tools to investigate the physical, evolutionary, and observational consequences of convection for gas giant worlds, which...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $227,501 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of North Georgia (UNG). The grant, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, will support research to investigate the role of stellar convection zone evolution in creating anomalous rotational evolution epochs in low-mass stars. The research team at UNG, led by the principal investigator, will develop a two-zone stellar rotational evolution model to better understand how changes in a star's convection zone can impact magnetic field braking and internal angular momentum transport, affecting spin-based age estimates for stars. In addition to the research, the project will support educational outreach efforts through the "Astronomy on Wheels" program, where the UNG investigator and students will promote astronomy education at local schools and community events.
