The research aims to improve our understanding of explosive transient objects in the distant universe by simultaneously combining information from multiple...
- This $328,623 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) will fund a 4-year collaborative research program led by investigators at Louisiana State University, Harvard University, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and University of Maryland, College Park. The research aims to improve our understanding of explosive transients, such as gamma-ray bursts and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $150,000.00 in funding to Montclair State University and Bar-Ilan University (Israel) for a collaborative research project. The primary objective is to design, test, and deploy a low-latency alert infrastructure to address the needs of the upcoming fifth observing run for the international gravitational-wave network. This award facilitates multi-messenger...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $605,057 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Northeastern University. This 5-year grant, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2030, will support research led by Prof. Blazek that aims to advance the understanding of astrophysical processes and observational uncertainties critical to maximizing the potential of upcoming galaxy survey projects like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $584,487 Project Grant to Texas A&M University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund the development of software pipelines to identify millimeter-wavelength transient sources and point-like objects from data collected by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and the Simons Observatory. This will enable new discoveries of phenomena such as supernovae, gamma-ray...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to enable synergistic scientific operations between the Rubin Observatory and the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in time-domain astronomy. The $1,593,307 grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will fund at least one year of joint ZTF and Rubin Observatory observations to support important scientific discoveries, data analysis, and training of the next generation of...
- This $325,777 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey capabilities to promptly identify and study new supernovae in nearby galaxies, taking advantage of a network of small telescopes. This will enable the discovery of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $387,470 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to support a collaborative research project between the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). The grant, active from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will fund the addition of two new telescopes to the existing Condor Array Telescope system operated by the research team in New Mexico. This...
- This $240,810 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research on "NEAR FIELD POPULATION SYNTHESIS - THE FINAL STAGES IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE MOST MASSIVE STARS." The project aims to develop new tools to better understand the evolution of massive stars, including their mass loss processes and supernova impacts, by studying resolved...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to expand the capabilities of the web-based astronomy application BLAST. The $521,080 award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, will enable researchers to enhance BLAST's ability to analyze the growing volume of data on astrophysical transients and their host galaxies, generated by new telescopes like Rubin and Roman. The project will also leverage the Zooniverse citizen science platform to engage the public in related research. The primary awardee is the University of Hawaii at Manoa, which has significant expertise in astronomy, astrophysics, and federal research partnerships.
