About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $14,825.17, was granted to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division by an undisclosed federal agency. The contract is for a research grant to investigate the linear correlation between X-ray and optical [OIII] line luminosities in active galactic nuclei (AGN), which is thought to indicate the ionization of low-density gas by high-energy photons from the central black hole vicinity.
The Smithsonian Institution is a leading provider of scientific research, instrumentation development, and data system services to federal agencies, primarily the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). As a trust instrumentality of the United States, the Smithsonian conducts extensive research and development focused on astrophysics, solar physics, exoplanets, and other scientific domains. This contract does not have a set-aside designation. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory frequently collaborates with universities and other institutions on NASA and NSF projects, both as a prime contractor and subcontractor, delivering specialized aerospace systems and ground-based observational equipment to support various missions.
Description
A linear correlation between x-RAY and optical [oiii] line luminosities in AGN is thought to manifest the ionization of low-density gas by the field of high- energy photons from the central black hole vicinity. IT is often used to estimate the AGN
