- 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 $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...
- The University of Tennessee received a $449,172 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete work by July 31, 2024. The grant supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop core collapse supernova gravitational wave signature predictions based on 3D models with increasing gravitational realism. The NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to...
- This $258,736 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team at Rutgers, The State University will enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae, incorporating new infrastructure to identify even younger nearby supernovae. As part of this work, three...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) project grant of $270,000 awarded to the University of Tennessee aims to establish a robust connection between exact many-body and approximate mean-field calculations of dominant neutrino flavor instabilities in core-collapse supernova and neutron star merger environments. The project involves developing a many-body neutrino simulation framework using tensor network methods to compare the mean-field and...
- This $239,093 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund collaborative research between the University of Virginia and Michigan State University to analyze data and model stripped supernovae explosions. The researchers will study at least 185 stripped supernovae, the largest data set in the world, to quantify uncertainties in modeling these explosions and transition the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $129,929 to the University of Alabama, awarded on August 1, 2023, will support computer-based numerical simulations to investigate the "double-detonation" mechanism for Type Ia supernovae. The research team aims to determine the robustness and viability of this explosion scenario, which starts with a helium detonation on the surface of a white dwarf star that triggers a carbon-burning...
