This collaborative research grant will support a study on the evolving dynamics of star clusters within Milky Way-like galaxies. The research team will analyze advanced computer simulations to track the orbital dynamics and evolution of open star clusters, examining how the changing galactic environment...
- This $363,623 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research effort between the City University of New York Queens College and Penn State Scranton. The primary objective is to develop and apply a new "seismic technique" that combines precision measurements of pulsating white dwarf stars with Gaia parallax data to accurately determine their masses and effective...
- 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 $545,315 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) will support advanced numerical simulations to study the explosive end of the first generation of stars in the high-redshift universe. The project aims to better understand the origin of chemical elements, including carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, that were synthesized in these early stellar events. The research will explore how phenomena such as...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $311,243 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The award will support collaborative 3-D stellar hydrodynamics research to improve understanding of convection and convective boundary mixing in massive stars. The researchers will apply a new 1-D convection model to better estimate main...
- This $462,120 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to analyze the chemical profiles of dwarf stars and their exoplanets. The primary objectives are to: (a) develop a public, data-driven tool to precisely derive stellar elemental abundances from spectroscopic data; (b) measure elemental abundances for high-priority exoplanet host stars; and (c) produce exoplanetary atmosphere models accounting...
This $299,999 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), provides a fellowship to an assistant professor and graduate student training at the University of Wyoming. The project aims to improve models of stellar evolution and resolve long-standing discrepancies between the age of the oldest observed stars and current estimates of the cosmological age of the universe. The work will be conducted in collaboration with researchers at the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute in New York. The project leverages expertise in state-of-the-art computational astrophysics to enhance the STEM preparation of students at the University of Wyoming's new School of Computing. The award will run from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027.
