About this award
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0029, was granted to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) for research related to the X-ray emission properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The $71,426.05 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to study intrinsically X-ray weak AGNs, which may be more prevalent in broad absorption line (BAL) quasars. The award, which has a performance period ending on September 30, 2023, does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university and land-grant institution, Penn State frequently serves as both a prime contractor and subcontractor for federal agencies, contributing expertise in areas like defense, space, agriculture, health, and education.
Description
Luminous x-RAY emission is considered a universal property of agns. There are few intrinsically x-RAY weak agns reliably identified so far. Such systems may exist preferentially in BAL quasars, where IT is challenging to ascribe the observed x-RAY we
