About this award
This federal contract award to the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division provides $1,210,444.80 in funding to support research addressing critical open questions in astrophysics identified in the 2010 Decadal Survey. The award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will focus on three key areas: (1) understanding the cycling of baryonic matter in and out of galaxies, (2) the role of this matter while within galaxies, and (3) enabling high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy to address these topics. As a leading provider of scientific research and instrumentation development for federal agencies, SAO frequently collaborates with universities and other institutions on NASA and National Science Foundation (NSF) projects, serving as both a prime contractor and subcontractor. This contract award is not associated with any set-aside designation.
Description
Critical open questions in astrophysics posed in the ASTRO2010 decadal report require high-resolution x-RAY spectroscopy. Three prominent unsolved queries are: (1) how do baryons cycle in and out of galaxies, and what do they do while they are there
