About this award
This is a $82,859.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for research related to a newly discovered X-ray variability pattern from the galaxy GSN 069. The award will provide further X-ray observations using the XMM-Newton telescope to better characterize this "quasi-periodic eruptions" (QPEs) phenomenon, which has not been previously observed in a galactic nucleus. As a leading federal research university, The Johns Hopkins University has a substantial portfolio of NASA and other federal agency grants supporting advanced scientific investigations. This award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. The university's expertise in astrophysics, X-ray astronomy, and complex data analysis makes it well-suited to conduct this specialized research to advance scientific understanding of this newly discovered cosmic X-ray variability.
