This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). PI Aaron Stemo is awarded a NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (NSF MPS-Ascend) to conduct a program of research and activities related to broaden participation by groups underrepresented in STEM. This fellowship to Dr. Stemo supports his research project entitled "MPS-Ascend: Spearheading Inclusive Mentoring and Multimessenger Training with a Census of Potential Counterpart Galaxies", under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The host institution for the fellowship is Vanderbilt University, and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. Jessie Runnoe.The inspiral and merger of massive black hole binaries (MBHB) - those with masses around 10 million solar masses - will produce strong Gravitational Waves (GW) that will be detectable by the upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) satellite. LISA will be able to detect GWs from MBHB up to a month before the black holes coalesce and provide parameters to identify electromagnetic counterparts in galaxy surveys. The uncertainty on these parameters is called an error volume. The PI will create a census of potential counterpart galaxies to LISA’s GW detections using an ensemble of survey data. This will address three key science goals: 1) create a framework to identify galaxy counterparts to LISA MBHB GW detections in survey data, 2) establish how depth, area, and wavelength coverage affects the ability to isolate EM counterparts to LISA MBHB GW detections, and 3) determine the likely properties of the first multimessenger detected MBHBs.The EMIT (Establishing Multimessenger Astronomy Inclusive Training ) program builds on the success of the Fisk-Vanderbilt Bridge Program by incorporating a cross-discipline curriculum, transferable skill development, and a breadth of technical expertise training required for the future workforce, all built around a foundation of inclusive practices. Stemo will join EMIT as an MPS-Ascend Postdoctoral Fellow and will contribute to recruitment, mentoring and training of graduate studentsThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项全部或部分由《2021 年美国救援计划法案》（公法 117-2）资助，PI Aaron Stemo 被授予 NSF 数学和物理科学提升博士后研究奖学金 (NSF MPS-Ascend)，以开展一项计划。 Stemo 博士的这项研究金支持他的研究项目“MPS-Ascend：先锋包容性”。潜在对应星系普查的指导和多信使培训”，在一位赞助科学家的指导下。该奖学金的主办机构是范德比尔特大学，赞助科学家是 Jessie Runnoe 博士。大质量黑洞双星的灵感和合并(MBHB) - 质量约为 1000 万太阳质量的物体 - 将产生强大的引力波 (GW)，即将推出的激光干涉仪空间天线可检测到(LISA) 卫星将能够在黑洞合并前一个月检测到来自 MBHB 的引力波，并提供参数来识别星系调查中的电磁单位，这些参数的不确定性称为误差量。使用一组调查数据对 LISA 的 GW 检测的潜在对应星系进行普查 这将实现三个关键的科学目标：1）创建一个框架来识别调查数据中 LISA MBHB GW 检测的星系对， 2) 确定深度、面积和波长覆盖范围如何影响将 EM 代码与 LISA MBHB GW 检测隔离的能力，以及 3) 确定第一个检测到的多信使 MBHB 的可能属性。EMIT（建立多信使天文学包容性培训）计划建立在菲斯克-范德比尔特大桥计划的成功通过纳入跨学科课程、可转移技能发展以及未来劳动力所需的广泛技术专业知识培训，所有这些都围绕Stemo 将作为 MPS-Ascend 博士后研究员加入 EMIT，并将为研究生的招募、指导和培训做出贡献。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持。标准。
