About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $600,000 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to support research related to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. LISA will build upon discoveries made by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Virgo Collaboration, which recently detected gravitational waves from black hole mergers. Under this award, Johns Hopkins will conduct research to further the scientific goals of observing massive black hole binaries or similar phenomena with LISA. The research is being performed in Baltimore, Maryland over a three-year period beginning in January 2020. No set-aside designations or major subcontractors were identified. This award advances NASA's space-based astrophysics program through foundational research supporting the LISA mission's vision of observational gravitational-wave astronomy.
Description
The ligo/virgo collaboration recently observed gravitational waves from black hole mergers, marking the beginning of a new ERA for observational astronomy. Lisa will fulfill this vision by observing either more massive black hole binaries, or similar
