About this award
This federal contract, awarded by the Shared Services Center (NASA), provides a $498,718.00 grant to Northwestern University for a research project focused on 3D simulations of magnetized stellar accretion. The project aims to address foundational questions related to neutron star jet formation, disk-magnetosphere interactions, neutron star spin dynamics, and the behavior of transitional millisecond pulsars. This research grant, which has a period of performance ending in September 2025, supports Northwestern University's expertise in astrophysics and space science research. The university commonly collaborates with federal agencies like NASA on advanced research initiatives across scientific disciplines.
Description
Here we propose undertaking a set of three-dimensional simulations which overcome this.limitation, and are aimed at providing robust answers to the foundational questions in magnetized.stellar accretion. How do neutron STARS produce relativistic jets (section 1.2.1)? What.is the nature of the disk{magnetosphere interaction and neutron-star spin-up and -down.(sections 1.2.2 and 3.1)? What explains transitional millisecond pulsars' strange behavior.(sections 1.2.3 and 3.2)? What can we learn from the DI.erences and similarities between.accreting neutron STARS and black holes
