- The National Science Foundation awarded a $180,000 project grant to the University of Arizona under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support theoretical research on strongly gravitating systems such as black holes and neutron stars. The funding period is from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2025. Specifically, the university will conduct research into novel gravitational phenomena that push the known laws of physics to their limits, with the goal of...
- This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $500,133 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. Through this grant, the research team will conduct a systematic study of the diverse outflows that occur during tidal disruption events, when a star is scattered into the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. The researchers will use radio and millimeter observations to track the evolution of...
