Towards an unbiased view of the role of stellar mass in galaxy evolution (SteMaGE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"The stellar mass content of galaxies is a key parameter to determine their properties and assess their evolution (e.g. via evolution of the stellar mass function [SMF] and scaling relations). However, our ability to measure stellar masses is limited by large systematic uncertainties and biases, which can reach up to factors of several for the youngest and most actively star-forming galaxies. One ...

Flare Chromospheres: Observations, Models and Archives (F-CHROMA)

Start date: Sep 24, 2013, End date: Jan 1, 2017,

We propose a focused space-based and ground-based multi-mode, multi-wavelength study of solar flares - the most intense energy release events in the solar system. We will center our attention on the flare chromosphere, from which most of the radiation originates. This work calls on space-based and ground-based observations, plus theoretical and modeling expertise. The project will have two major o ...

Beacons in the Dark (Beacon)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

BEACON aims at performing an ambitious multi-disciplinary (optical, radio astronomy and theoretical physics) study to enable a fundamentally improved understanding of gravitation and space-time. For almost a century Einstein's general relativity has been the last word on gravity. However, superstring theory predicts new gravitational phenomena beyond relativity. In this proposal I will attempt to ...

MHD modeling of wind tori and particle acceleration in pulsar wind nebulae (PWNtori)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

The proposed research aims to constrain the energy spectrum of accelerated particles in pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), and their contribution to the recently measured primary cosmic-ray positron spectrum. To this end, observations of synchrotron emission from the inner wind tori of young PWNe, in particular in the infrared domain, will be modeled using relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerica ...
