About this award
The Regents of The University of Colorado received a non-set-aside research grant valued at $882,838 from the National Science Foundation for a project titled "Nonthermal Particle Acceleration, Electron Heating and Radiation in Hot Black Hole Accretion Flows: From First-Principles Kinetics to GRMHD Simulations to Observations." The award, effective March 23, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of March 22, 2027, will be performed at the university's Boulder, Colorado campus. This research initiative combines theoretical astrophysics with computational modeling and observational validation to advance understanding of particle acceleration mechanisms and radiation processes in extreme gravitational environments around black holes.
The project integrates first-principles kinetic theory with general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations to bridge the gap between theoretical predictions and astronomical observations of hot accretion flows. As a leading research institution with substantial federal funding across multiple scientific disciplines, the University of Colorado brings established expertise in space physics and computational astrophysics to support NSF's scientific discovery objectives. This grant represents the university's continued role as a competitive prime researcher advancing fundamental knowledge in high-energy astrophysics.
