- The Leland Stanford Junior University has been awarded a $3.11K research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct a comprehensive observational study of 3C 120, a broad-line radio galaxy with unique astrophysical characteristics. The project involves four monthly observations using NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) coordinated with ongoing Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the galaxy's jets, with two observation periods synchronized with XMM-Newton satellite...
- This is a $449,830.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to continue monitoring 37 gamma-ray and radio bright active galactic nuclei using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT). The research aims to determine the location of flaring sites in the parsec-scale jets of these active galactic nuclei, which is crucial to understanding the...
- This federal contract award to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) is for research related to cosmic rays, magnetic fields, and diffuse emissions in the Milky Way galaxy. The $428,861.67 grant will leverage data from multiple observational platforms, including radio surveys, microwave observations, X-ray observations, and gamma-ray observations, to simultaneously analyze the diffuse emission components and infer information on cosmic ray spectra, distribution, and...
- This is a $80,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to conduct research on "Probing Dwarf Galaxies with Massive Black Holes Using Gamma-Rays". The grant is not associated with a set-aside program. Stanford University is a leading private research institution that frequently receives federal contract and grant awards from agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense, and the...
- The Leland Stanford Junior University received a civilian research grant awarded January 1, 2023, valued at $100,430.80 with a completion date of December 31, 2024. The grant supports research titled "The Relationship Between the Corona and Jet in the Radio-Loud Seyfert Galaxy IRAS 17020+4544," to be conducted at Stanford's campus in Stanford, California. This award reflects the federal government's investment in astronomical and astrophysical research that advances scientific...
- This is a $450,000.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Trustees of Boston University, a private non-profit educational institution, for a research project titled "VLBA Monitoring of Gamma-Ray Bright Blazars at 7 mm". The project aims to monitor the jets of 35 active galactic nuclei using monthly 7 mm Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations to relate events in the compact jets to gamma-ray, millimeter-wave, optical, and X-ray...
- This $78,482.98 grant for research was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Leland Stanford Junior University, a private research university located in Stanford, California. The purpose of the grant is to conduct a deep 380 kilosecond observation using the XMM-Newton/Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) to investigate the dynamical state of the gas in the inner few kiloparsecs of the elliptical galaxy M84 and determine whether it is largely quiescent and in...
- This is a $468,766.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Leland Stanford Junior University, a private non-profit research institution, for the project "THE NEXT STAGE OF X-RAY REVERBERATION: MAPPING A SAMPLE OF SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES". The grant is for scientific research and does not have a set-aside designation, indicating Stanford competed openly for the award. Stanford has a long history of receiving federal research grants and...
- This is a $507,421.09 grant award to Purdue University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a self-consistent model for the emission properties of blazars, which are a type of active galactic nucleus. The research aims to understand the particle acceleration and energy dissipation mechanisms in blazar jets using particle-in-cell simulations and radiative transfer modeling. The goal is to create a framework that can be extended to explain emission from other...
- This is a $126,180.84 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Leland Stanford Junior University, also known as Stanford University, to conduct research on "Resolving the Extreme Environments Outside Supermassive Black Holes with XRISM Measurements of X-Ray Reflection and Reverberation." The grant, which runs from February 10, 2023, to February 9, 2026, does not have a set-aside designation, indicating Stanford competed for the award on full...
This $40,635.49 federal grant award to Stanford University provides funding for data analysis of observations of jet-dominated active galaxies known as blazars. The observations will be conducted jointly by the NASA NuSTAR satellite and other observatories including the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, as well as ground-based optical, radio, and very high energy gamma-ray facilities. The goal is to study the spectral and variability properties of these strong and variable X-ray and gamma-ray emitting active galaxies to gain insight into the physical processes responsible for their broad-band electromagnetic emission. Additionally, the analysis aims to assess whether these sources can contribute significantly to the cosmic X-ray background. The work will be carried out over 12 months following the receipt of data, which is expected to be collected in fiscal years 2018 and 2019. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
