About this award
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC22K0568, is a $81,623.00 grant for research awarded to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract is for conducting mosaic observations of the early-stage binary merging galaxy cluster Abell 401 to study the intracluster medium (ICM) out to the virial radius. This research aligns with SAO's expertise in astrophysics, solar physics, exoplanets, and heliophysics, as the organization frequently partners with universities and other institutions on NASA and National Science Foundation (NSF) projects as both a prime contractor and subcontractor. The contract has no set-aside designation and runs through March 31, 2026. The Smithsonian Institution, as the parent organization, is a trust instrumentality of the United States that conducts extensive research and development activities across a variety of scientific domains.
Description
We propose mosaic observations of the massive, early-stage, binary merging cluster abell 401, to probe the ICM out to the virial radius with essentially full azimuthal coverage. Early-stage binary mergers like A401/A399 are predicted to happen in
