The research aims to improve our understanding of explosive transients, such as gamma-ray bursts and...
This Project Grant award for $605,057 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research by Professor Blazek's team at Northeastern University to develop advanced techniques for analyzing data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The research focuses on improving understanding of astrophysical processes like galaxy formation and shapes, which are critical for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $328,865 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to conduct research under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The goal of the research is to improve understanding of the mechanisms of accretion onto supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) through echo mapping and radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $497,792 Project Grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to support research under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant aims to develop advanced machine learning techniques to extract cosmological information from mass maps generated by observing the gravitational lensing effects of dark matter. This research will enable more...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $303,516 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to develop new software and techniques for studying explosive transient events in the universe using multi-wavelength and multi-messenger observations. The research team will combine data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, gamma-ray burst monitors, and gravitational-wave interferometers to...
This $1,969,052 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports the development of an open-source software library to enable coordinated follow-up observations across diverse astronomical observatories. The project, led by the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, aims to streamline the process of requesting observations from optical, infrared, radio, X-ray, and ultraviolet telescopes in response to time-domain...
This $694,951 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund the development of the "Treasure Trove" - a tool to help astronomers rapidly assess and prioritize potential counterparts to gravitational wave and neutrino events. The University of Arizona and Northwestern University-led team will leverage astronomical archives and real-time data to contextualize incoming transient detections, allowing them to discard...
