About this award
This is a $79,998.23 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on radiative shocks and high-energy particle acceleration in classical nova outflows. The research aims to extend previous analytic and simulation work to global 2D and 3D models of the shock interaction and associated multi-wavelength emissions, as well as predict particle acceleration efficiencies. The grant will also focus on connecting the gamma-ray observations from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to the thermal and non-thermal X-ray emissions detected by the Swift and NuSTAR observatories. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program and does not appear to be part of a larger contracting vehicle.
Description
The discovery by fermi LAT of GEV gamma-rays from classical novae illustrates that shocks and high energy particle acceleration are common in nova outflows. We will extend our recent analytic and local-box simulation work on radiative shocks in novae to global 2D and 3D simulations of the shock interaction in these systems and their multi-wavelength emission. By combining the distribution of inclination angles across the shock front relative to the upstream magnetic field with the results of particle-in-cell simulations, we will also predict the average particle acceleration efficiency and compare to those observed. Particular focus will also be placed on connecting the LAT gamma-RAY emission to the viewing-angle dependent thermal and non-thermal x-rays, as detected by swift and nustar.
