About this award
This is a $74,384.08 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a 100 kilosecond (100 ks) NuSTAR observation of the ultraluminous X-ray source Circinus ULX5. The goal is to search for transient pulsations, which would help definitively classify the compact object as a neutron star. The award does not have a set-aside designation and is a research grant with a completion date of April 11, 2023. Caltech is a leading private research university that has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards from agencies like NASA and the Department of Defense over the past 5 years to support a wide range of scientific research, engineering, and technical services.
