About this award
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), a division of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), received a $96,006 research grant (21-NUSTAR21-0005) from NASA's Shared Services Center to fund research on "Deciphering Evolution of Changing-Look AGN NGC 3516." The award, issued on February 1, 2023, with a completion date of January 31, 2027, supports scientific investigation into active galactic nuclei behavior and evolution. This non-set-aside grant will be performed at STScI's facility in Baltimore, Maryland. AURA, a non-profit consortium of universities, operates major astronomical observatories and research facilities for federal agencies and brings extensive expertise in space-based astronomical research and advanced data analysis to this project.
This research initiative aligns with NASA's broader astrophysics mission to advance understanding of complex celestial phenomena through state-of-the-art telescope observations and analysis. STScI's role in supporting space telescope missions and developing sophisticated data analysis techniques positions the organization well to investigate the dynamic properties of active galactic nuclei. The research on changing-look AGN contributes to fundamental knowledge in extragalactic astronomy and informs NASA's scientific research objectives across multiple disciplines within space exploration and astronomical observation.
