- This is a $116,142.95 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on properties of accretion disks, relativistic jets, and the regions of strong gravity near black holes. The research aims to improve understanding of black hole X-ray binaries. The grant is part of a larger research portfolio at UC Berkeley, which has received over $825,000 in prime federal contract awards from agencies like NASA and the Department of Defense to investigate...
- This is a federal contract award from NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on black hole accretion disks. The $104,999.99 training grant aims to improve the treatment of radiating electrons in multi-dimensional computer simulations of these extreme astrophysical systems. The research seeks to address several poorly understood emission properties of low-luminosity accreting black holes, including those in X-ray binary systems, Sagittarius A*, M87, and...
- This is a $89,999.02 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is for research on stellar-mass black holes, which are the end product of massive star evolution. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 12, 2023. The Regents of the University of California, through its UC Berkeley campus, is the prime grant recipient. UC Berkeley...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $92,912.52 research grant from a civilian federal agency with a completion date of December 31, 2024. This award supports an astrophysical research project investigating hard X-rays emitted from accreting white dwarfs in magnetic cataclysmic variables. The research leverages observations from NuSTAR and XMM satellites to measure white dwarf masses by analyzing shock-heating signatures in accretion columns, with a specific focus on determining...
- This is a $264,353.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project studying compact objects in our galaxy, such as neutron stars and black holes in binary systems. The project will utilize serendipitous data from the NuSTAR space telescope to characterize the variability, spectral properties, and timing phenomena of bright Galactic X-ray binaries. The project aims to produce data products,...
- This is a $310,260 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Eureka Scientific, Inc., a small disadvantaged business in California. The grant is for a study of the high energy X-ray spectra emitted from active galactic nuclei (AGN) surrounding supermassive black holes, to better understand the impacts of general relativistic strong-field gravity. The work aligns with NASA's strategic goals in astrophysics and gravitational physics research. Eureka...
