About this award
George Mason University was awarded a $186,140 research grant effective January 1, 2020, with a completion date of December 31, 2024, to conduct the first systematic large-scale X-ray investigation of bulgeless galaxies using archival observations from the XMM-Newton space telescope. The project aims to search for active galactic nuclei (AGN) in these galaxies and determine their relationship to their host galaxies. The work will be performed in Fairfax, Virginia, and is funded through a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
This grant represents a fundamental research initiative leveraging existing observational data to advance understanding of galaxy evolution and AGN behavior. George Mason University, a large public research institution recognized for its extensive portfolio of federal research grants and contracts, is well-positioned to execute this astrophysical research project. The university regularly receives substantial grants from agencies including the National Science Foundation and NASA to support advanced scientific research across multiple disciplines, making this X-ray astronomy investigation consistent with its established research capabilities and mission.
