   Burrows compared the massive nature of the mathematical modeling that will be done to try to understand apparent connections between supernovae and gamma ray bursts to global weather modeling. "We hope to have a fundamental understanding of the supernova explosions, from the death of the stars that give them birth to their products … the source of most of the heavy elements in nature," said Burrows. Burrows said the Department of Energy's Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing grant, the consortium's second SciDAC grant, was a rarity. He said 240 grant applications were submitted and 30 grants awarded, only one of which was for astrophysics. Burrows said the announcement of the distribution of the $1.9 million-a-year grant among the participating consortium members would be made in a few weeks.
