This $129,033 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project on fast radio bursts (FRBs). The award to the CAL Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation (HSU Foundation) extends their ongoing work to observe FRBs and associate them with their host galaxies. Over the 18-month award period from September 2025 to February 2026, the research team will acquire and analyze deep imaging and spectroscopy data on hundreds of FRB host galaxies. This will enable three main research thrusts: (1) a robust determination of the Macquart relation to estimate the Hubble parameter, (2) inferring the distribution of baryons in galactic halos and constraining circumgalactic magnetic fields and gas density, and (3) testing FRB emission models. The award will also support a postbaccalaureate 'bridge' program at the Maria Mitchell Observatory to attract and retain underrepresented students in STEM fields.
