- This is a $327,000 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to support research into tidal disruption events (TDEs) and the detection of dormant supermassive black holes. The grant will fund the university's participation in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey, which aims to build a statistically significant sample of TDE light curves to study the demographics of supermassive black holes at cosmic distances....
- The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), a division of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), received a $129,967 grant from NASA's Shared Services Center for research on tidal disruption events (TDEs) detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). The award, issued January 28, 2022, with completion by January 27, 2025, supports characterization of X-ray evolution in up to six new TDEs identified during ZTF-II survey operations. This research directly...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $540,470.00 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for research related to the formation and evolution of compact star clusters at high redshifts. The research aims to investigate several aspects of the underlying astrophysics, including the role of these clusters in producing seeds for supermassive black holes, the physics of their formation and growth, the impact of X-ray heating, and their influence on the...
- This is a $349,999.87 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct two targeted science programs utilizing the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) project. The first program will search for and characterize tidal disruption events (TDEs), which occur when a star wanders too close to a supermassive black hole and is torn apart. The second program will search for electromagnetic...
- This is a $37,439.76 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a research project on the time-domain variability analysis of 117 blazars (active galactic nuclei) in the Swift-BAT 105-month catalog. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research university, UMD has a long history of receiving federal grants and contracts from agencies like NASA, the National Science...
- This is a $30,984.59 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research project titled "WE PROPOSE SIMULTANEOUS (NUSTAR+XMM) TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY OBSERVATIONS OF A NEWLY DISCOVERED TIDAL DISRUPTION FLARE (TDF) TO CONSTRAIN ITS SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE'S (SMBH) MASS AND SPIN." The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to support the observation and study of a newly discovered...
- This federal contract award is a grant for $370,380 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to conduct research on tidal disruption events (TDEs) involving stars and supermassive black holes. The research will investigate how the dynamics of TDEs change in relativistic spacetime using hydrodynamic simulations coupled with relativistic tidal tensor calculations in Schwarzschild and Kerr...
- This is a $450,222.72 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant is to support research that is relevant to NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission, with the goal of improving understanding of possible climates on rocky exoplanets. The research will serve as a foundation for future observations of these planets using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The award is not set aside and is...
