About this award
This is a $79,993.45 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University, to conduct research on "superluminous supernovae" - stellar explosions with peak luminosities too high to be powered by traditional energy sources. The research aims to investigate the possible role of a millisecond magnetar engine in powering these events. The award is not associated with a set-aside program and represents a basic research grant to advance scientific understanding in this domain. As a renowned private research institution, Columbia University has a long history of collaborating with government agencies like NASA on cutting-edge projects across various scientific and technical fields.
Description
A growing sample of stellar explosions have been discovered with peak luminosities too high to be powered by traditional energy sources. A popular model for such "superluminous supernovae" (slsne) posits the birth of a millisecond magnetar engine.
