This Project Grant award for $150,000 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research in gravitational wave astrophysics. The research aims to solve Einstein's equations numerically using simulations run on NSF-funded supercomputers to study the inspiral and merger of binary neutron star systems and the associated gravitational waves. The results will increase understanding of gravitational wave...
This $259,995 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of an open-source, GPU-enabled computational code for modeling the physics of compact object mergers, such as binary neutron star and black hole-neutron star collisions. The code will leverage advanced neutrino transport models and high-performance GPU computing to enable more accurate and scalable simulations of these...
This $379,797 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences supports research on electron impact ionization and recombination processes for heavy elements produced in neutron star mergers. The project aims to calculate accurate cross sections for these key astrophysical plasma ionization mechanisms, which will help astronomers better interpret the spectra of kilonovae - the transient electromagnetic emissions from neutron star...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is funding the development of novel computational methods for modeling astrophysical flows with self-gravity. The $189,999 award to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will support a collaborative research effort to design arbitrary-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods that preserve fundamental properties of...
This $590,559 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a three-year research program led by Columbia University. The program aims to perform computer simulations that predict the radiation emitted from neutron star winds and how it propagates through the debris of stellar explosions. The research will also apply these calculations to spinning neutron stars created from the merger of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $260,000 in funding to The Ohio State University to develop advanced computational methods for modeling compressible astrophysical flows with self-gravity. The project aims to design novel arbitrary order discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods that preserve fundamental continuum properties of the underlying...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, was awarded to the University of Tennessee in the amount of $330,000 on August 1, 2023. The project will conduct state-of-the-art simulations to differentiate electron-capture and core-collapse supernovae, modeling the formation of neutron stars, neutrino emission, and nucleosynthesis. The detailed nuclear reaction network models will be extended through...
This is a $450,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant supports research by the University of Tennessee focused on two key objectives: Incorporating magnetic fields into the university's leading core collapse supernova simulation models, known as THORNADO. This will advance the understanding of core collapse supernovae, which are the explosive deaths of massive stars and a major...
This $450,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will fund theoretical research and modeling to further the understanding of neutrinos and their role in multi-messenger astrophysics. Key focus areas include the physics of neutrinos from core collapse supernovae, predictions of the diffuse flux of cosmological supernovae, and interpretation of the observed flux of TeV-PeV neutrinos from outside our galaxy. The research aims to develop...
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...
