About this award
The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) was awarded a $313,807 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion columns across multiple luminosity regimes, ranging from low-luminosity accreting X-ray pulsars to ultra-luminous X-ray sources. The grant, awarded on January 7, 2020, with a completion date of January 6, 2025, represents fundamental astrophysics research that advances understanding of high-energy phenomena in binary star systems. This work is typical of UCSB's extensive portfolio of federally-funded research, which leverages the university's strong capabilities in advanced computational modeling and theoretical astrophysics.
No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating full and open competition. As a prominent public research university and Land Grant institution, UCSB was selected as the prime contractor based on its demonstrated technical expertise and research infrastructure. The work was performed at the university's Santa Barbara, California campus through its Office of Research. This grant exemplifies the type of cutting-edge fundamental research that UCSB conducts for civilian federal agencies, contributing to the scientific knowledge base supporting national research priorities in space science and astrophysics.
Description
We propose to conduct a suite of radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of these accretion columns, ranging from the relatively low luminosity regime of accreting x-RAY pulsars to the high luminosity regime of ultra-luminous x-RAY sources.
