About this award
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC22K0389, was granted to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division. The $14,825.13 grant is for research to identify a population of intermediate black holes (IMBH), which could help solve the origin of supermassive black holes, a long-standing problem in astrophysics. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is a grant for research funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). As a leading provider of scientific research and instrumentation development for federal agencies like NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Smithsonian Institution frequently collaborates with universities on grant-funded projects across a range of astrophysics and heliophysics topics.
Description
A population of intermediate black holes (IMBH) will allow US to solve one of the long-standing problems in modern astrophysics, the origin of supermassive black holes. Having analysed 1 million optical spectra, we identified 305 IMBH candidates
