This federal Project Grant award of $437,261 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between Princeton University and Dartmouth College. The project aims to explore how self-generated magnetic fields can persist and disperse in turbulent astrophysical plasmas. Using a combination of analytical theory and advanced numerical simulations, the research team will elucidate the decay and diffusion...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $457,955 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration, doing business as Princeton University, to study the physics of rotating magnetized plasmas in astrophysical systems. The three-year grant, awarded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), will support computer simulations to investigate key physical effects of global space and magnetic...
This $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences will fund research into the role of the dynamo effect in neutron star mergers from 2022 to 2025. As part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the grant supports efforts to elucidate the dynamo processes generated by instabilities in the pre-merger and post-merger phases of neutron star collisions. Insights into how accompanying magnetic...
