About this award
The University of California, Berkeley received a $92,912.52 research grant from a civilian federal agency with a completion date of December 31, 2024. This award supports an astrophysical research project investigating hard X-rays emitted from accreting white dwarfs in magnetic cataclysmic variables. The research leverages observations from NuSTAR and XMM satellites to measure white dwarf masses by analyzing shock-heating signatures in accretion columns, with a specific focus on determining whether white dwarf masses extend to the Chandrasekhar limit. The project will also search for periodic signals at the white dwarf rotation period. No set-aside designation was applied to this competitively awarded grant.
UC Berkeley, a major land-grant research institution, is well-positioned to execute this fundamental astrophysics research given its comprehensive expertise in space exploration and advanced scientific instrumentation. The award demonstrates the university's continued engagement with federal agencies in cutting-edge observational astronomy and theoretical modeling. This research contributes to broader scientific understanding of stellar remnants and compact object physics, areas central to space science research funding priorities.
