About this award
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC18K1641, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, a prominent U.S. state government-owned educational institution located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The $249,318.42 grant is for research to support the eXtreme Aperture Measurement (XARM) mission, with the goal of revolutionizing the understanding of wind feedback from black holes, disk physics, and the nature of the innermost accretion flow. This research aligns with NASA's focus on the "Physics of the Largest Objects in the Universe" and the "Physics of the Most Extreme Environments in the Universe." The contract has no set-aside designation and is a grant for research, with a performance period running from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2024.
Description
My prime scientific goals are to ensure that xarm reaches its potential to revolutionize our understanding of 1) wind feedback from black holes into host environments, 2) disk physics that is only realized via outflows, and 3) the nature of the innermost accretion flow as a window on black hole spin and mass growth. These goals are central to the "physics of the largest objects in the universe", and the "physics of the most extreme environments in the universe" disciplines.
