They aim to resolve controversies in the supernova community...
The National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded New Mexico State University $534,487 on September 1, 2026, to conduct collaborative astrophysical research examining how supernovae influence galaxy evolution, particularly in dwarf galaxies. The award is structured as a Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) and runs through August 31, 2029. The research integrates discoveries from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time with advanced spectroscopic observations to measure supernova rates, energetics, and environmental impacts across galaxies of varying mass. The team will characterize galactic wind kinematics, abundance variations, and star formation histories to constrain how supernova feedback couples to surrounding medium, the timescales over which metals distribute via supernova events, and the degree to which supernovae regulate star formation. Work is performed in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The project is collaborative; researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi participate alongside NMSU investigators. The team will leverage spectroscopic capabilities on NMSU and University of Hawaiʻi telescopes and expand the COSMOVIS 3D visualization platform into virtual-reality and planetarium formats for classroom and public education in partnership with the NMSU STEM Outreach Center and Southern New Mexico public schools.
