About this award
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC21K1886, was granted to the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division. The $37,231.50 grant funds research to study the gradual decline of black hole transients in a thermal-dominant state, which provides high-quality data for measuring black hole spin via X-ray continuum fitting.
The Smithsonian Institution, a trust instrumentality of the United States, is a leading provider of scientific research, instrumentation development, and data system services to federal agencies like NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF). SAO frequently collaborates with universities on NASA and NSF projects as both a prime contractor and subcontractor, delivering specialized aerospace systems and ground-based observational equipment to support various missions. This contract award is not associated with any set-aside designation.
Description
After a black hole transient has reached the bright and soft thermal-dominant state, IT undergoes a months-long gradual decline in the same thermal state. These data contain minimal contribution from the nonthermal compton and reflection components and as such are the gold-standard for spin measurements via x-RAY continuum fitting.
