- This is a $435,471.32 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant supports Caltech's study of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries as a means to better understand the behavior and properties of supermassive black holes, which are crucial for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. The research leverages Caltech's expertise in black hole accretion disk...
- This is a $74,384.08 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a 100 kilosecond (100 ks) NuSTAR observation of the ultraluminous X-ray source Circinus ULX5. The goal is to search for transient pulsations, which would help definitively classify the compact object as a neutron star. The award does not have a set-aside designation and is a research grant with a completion date of April 11, 2023. Caltech is a...
- This is a $88,190.76 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct a series of four Target of Opportunity (TOO) observations using the NuSTAR and NICER X-ray telescopes. The observations will focus on five recurrent black hole binary systems to obtain high signal-to-noise data. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech is a leading private research university that has received over...
- This is a $2,816,991.76 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support the NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) Legacy Survey Program. The grant will fund research activities associated with the NuSTAR Legacy Survey, including support for key researchers, management and leadership of the NuSTAR science team, publication of research results, public outreach, and travel for the NuSTAR team. The...
- This is a $39,220.85 grant awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research related to black hole binaries (BHBs). The grant, with an end date of January 6, 2024, will fund observations of BHBs during their "decay phase" to study the accretion physics and disk truncation in the low-hard state. Caltech is a private research university that has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years, primarily from NASA and the...
- This is a $530,852.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on astrophysical black holes. The grant is not a set-aside contract. Caltech is a private university that specializes in science and engineering research, and has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years to support NASA and Department of Defense programs. This research grant will study...
- This $1,014,143.87 federal grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) on May 13, 2019 for a project studying black hole accretion. The project aims to develop a unified methodology for analyzing X-ray data from accreting black holes, integrating spectral and timing analysis techniques to better understand the physics of accretion in strong gravity regimes. Caltech will perform Fourier spectral timing analysis on a sample of...
- This is a $75,230.00 grant award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for a research project titled "PROBING OBSCURATION, DISK WINDS AND THEIR RELATION WITH ACCRETION STATES IN BLACK HOLE X-RAY BINARIES". The award has an ultimate completion date of May 7, 2027. Caltech is a well-known private research university that frequently receives federal research grants and...
- This is a $265,915.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support research on modeling the atomic processes and data required to accurately interpret observations of iron K-shell emission lines from gas orbiting black holes. The research aims to address discrepancies in current models that suggest unrealistically high iron abundances in these systems, which is likely due to a lack of modeling of key...
- This is a $37,500 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, is for a project titled "Measuring Black Hole Spin and Mass Through X-Ray Reflection Spectra and Reverberation Lags" and is set to be completed by April 20, 2025.
