About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $1,295,956.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for research to address limitations of the standard model of accretion disks, such as the inability to account for observed spectral features and outflows. This research effort aims to improve the understanding of disk-accreting systems. UNLV, as a comprehensive research university, has a history of executing contracts and grants with federal agencies to advance scientific knowledge and address complex challenges. The contract is part of UNLV's broader portfolio of federal funding, which includes a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for educational services and various grants from agencies like the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health for research across scientific and social domains.
Description
The standard model of accretion disks developed in the 1970S cannot account for the observed spectral features of disk-accreting systems such as excess thermal emission (e.g. the 'big blue bump' in active galactic nuclei), non-thermal x-RAY emission, and broad emission and absorption lines. Moreover, the model does not account for either magnetically-driven or radiation-driven outflows known to always accompany optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disks. In
