Obscuring outflows are remarkably different from the commonly seen warm-absorber outflows in active galactic nuclei (AGN). They exhibit large columns of high-velocity gas close to the black hole.

About this award
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC22K0552, was granted to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), doing business as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), a non-profit organization. The $107,304.71 contract is a grant for research to study "obscuring outflows" in active galactic nuclei, which exhibit high-velocity gas close to the black hole. This research is being conducted on behalf of the NASA Shared Services Center, a civilian agency. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As the science operations center for NASA's flagship space telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope, AURA plays a crucial role in advancing astrophysics research and expanding our understanding of the universe through its expertise in developing advanced instrumentation, optical systems, and data processing for space-based astronomy.
