About this award
This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC21K1177, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Associated Universities Inc. (AUI), a non-profit research management corporation. The $19,538.68 grant is for research on ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) using the NuSTAR observatory. The research aims to investigate the power source driving the extreme luminosity of these galaxies, whether it is an active galactic nucleus (AGN) or a starburst. The award does not have a set-aside designation. AUI is the prime contractor on this grant and has extensive experience managing major scientific research facilities, including radio astronomy observatories, for federal agencies like NASA and the National Science Foundation.
Description
Ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ulirgs LIR > 10^12 lsun) are the most intrinsically luminous galaxies in the low-redshift universe, yet the power source of ulirgs (AGN VS starburst) is still debated. We propose nustar observations of 7 local ulirgs
