About this award
This is a $37,439.76 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a research project on the time-domain variability analysis of 117 blazars (active galactic nuclei) in the Swift-BAT 105-month catalog. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research university, UMD has a long history of receiving federal grants and contracts from agencies like NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense to conduct scientific research across a wide range of disciplines. The project aims to examine the variability characteristics of these celestial objects, which is expected to provide new insights into the physics of blazars and their central supermassive black holes. The research will be completed by July 1, 2023.
Description
A time-domain variability analysis of 117 blazars in the swift-BAT 105-month catalog reveals that a SIG- nificant portion ( 30%) exhibit very low fractional variability (.20%) on a monthly timescale, which is deeply at odds with previous studies that
