About this award
This is a $37,342.20 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research project titled "IDENTIFYING NEWBORN COMPACT OBJECTS IN FAST, BLUE OPTICAL TRANSIENTS USING NICER'S SUPERIOR TIMING OBSERVATIONS". The grant is for fundamental research and does not have a set-aside designation. MIT is the prime contractor, and there are no major subcontractors mentioned. The research aims to leverage the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) instrument's timing capabilities to identify newly formed compact objects, such as neutron stars or black holes, from fast, blue optical transient events. This aligns with NASA's broader programs in astrophysics and space science research.
