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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。 Pi Aaron STEMO被授予NSF数学和物理科学的上升博士后研究奖学金（NSF MPS-ASCEND），以开展与STEM中代表性不足的团体扩大参与有关的研究和活动计划。在赞助科学家的心态下，STEMO博士的这一奖学金支持他的研究项目，题为“ MPS-Ascend：通过潜在的同行星系的人口普查为包容性指导和跨摄影机培训”。奖学金的主持机构是范德比尔特大学，赞助科学家是杰西·鲁诺（Jessie Runnoe）博士。丽莎将能够检测到黑洞结合前一个月的MBHB，并提供参数以识别银河系调查中的电磁对应物。这些参数的不确定性称为错误量。 PI将使用一组调查数据来创建与丽莎GW检测的潜在同行星系的普查。这将解决三个关键的科学目标：1）创建一个框架，以确定与LISA MBHB GW检测数据中的星系同行，2）确定深度，区域和波长覆盖范围如何影响与LISA EM对应物与Lisa MBHB GW检测的能力，以及第一个培训的可能性，以及3）确定MBB的可能性。计划以跨学科的课程，可转移的技能开发以及未来劳动力所需的广泛的技术专长培训来建立在Fisk-Vanderbilt Bridge计划的成功基础上，所有这些计划都是围绕包含性实践的基础建立的。 STEMO将加入EMIT，成为MPS-ASCEND博士后研究员，并将为研究生的招聘，心理和培训做出贡献，该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评估标准来通过评估来获得NSF的法定任务。
