- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $150,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Michigan Technological University for the project "TRACKING COSMIC-RAY DYNAMICS IN OUR GALAXY BY COMBINING HAWC WITH MULTI-MESSENGER DATA." The project aims to better understand the dynamics of cosmic rays in the Milky Way galaxy by studying gamma ray traces from the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory and integrating...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $1,724,893 to the University of Maryland, College Park for operating and performing data analyses with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory through August 2025. HAWC is a gamma-ray telescope used to study astrophysical processes in extreme environments through the observation of gamma rays. Funding supports scientists analyzing HAWC data to provide...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program provides $249,479 to support the operation and maintenance of the 13 petabyte U.S. data archive for the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory, located in Mexico but operated by the University of Maryland, College Park. The award funds critical engineering, technical, and operational support for the remote operations of the HAWC...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $1,100,000 to support faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students at the University of Utah in conducting astrophysics research activities. The research focuses on exploring the physical forces and processes occurring in violent astrophysical settings, with the goal of understanding the origin and evolution of stars, galaxies, and the elements of the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $392,056 to researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct multi-messenger studies of pulsars - rapidly spinning, highly magnetized neutron stars. The award supports analysis of data from the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory in Mexico, along with data from space- and ground-based experiments, to study the highest energy...
- This $120,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports fundamental research on gravitational astrophysics and computational methods to advance scientific understanding of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The award will fund a series of research projects at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) focused on developing new...
This Project Grant award for $200,000, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to understand the most energetic cosmic phenomena, including exploding stars and black holes. The work focuses on improving the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory's sensitivity to detect very-high-energy gamma rays and identify the most powerful natural particle accelerators in the universe, known as "pevatrons." This research aims to reveal the origin of cosmic rays, enhance understanding of extreme environments around supernovae and black holes, and potentially inspire future technologies. The award is effective from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026 and is being conducted by Temple University, a prominent public research university in Philadelphia.
