About this award
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0242, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a research project investigating the connection between near-infrared excess emission and X-ray emission in A-type stars. The $83,103.91 grant-funded contract does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2021. UCSD, as the prime contractor, will leverage its expertise in areas such as astrophysics, astronomy, and data analysis to further study this observed phenomenon and expand the statistical sample of characterized A-type stars. The State of California Controller's Office is the parent organization of UCSD, which has a history of receiving both federal contracts and grants for a wide range of research and development initiatives, including work in fields like artificial intelligence, biomedical research, and climate science.
Description
A-type STARS are not expected to be sites of vigorous stellar magnetic activity phenomena like chromospheric or coronal emissions and hence should be x-RAY dark. With a few exceptions, this expectation is borne out in observations. However, in investigating those atype STARS with x-RAY emission where a lower-mass companion is not to blame, we have discovered a tentative connection between the presence of near-infrared excess emission (indicating very close-in orbiting dust) and detected x-RAY emission. In this proposal we seek to further VET this with XMM-newton observations that will yield a statistical sample of x-RAY characterized a-type STARS with and without near-infrared excess emission.
