About this award
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), a public research university, has been awarded a $85,408 federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on tidal disruption events (TDEs) involving supermassive black holes. TDEs occur when a star approaches close enough to a supermassive black hole that the star is ripped apart by the black hole's tidal forces. This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will support UWM's scientific analysis and understanding of these astrophysical phenomena. As a major public research institution, UWM frequently collaborates with federal agencies like NASA on a variety of research projects across disciplines including physics, engineering, and environmental science.
Description
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star approaches within the tidal radius of asupermassive black hole (smbh).the tidal gravity of a smbh overcomes the self-gravity of the star, and the star is ripped apart by the tidal forces from thesmbh.
