About this award
This is a $39,220.85 grant awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research related to black hole binaries (BHBs). The grant, with an end date of January 6, 2024, will fund observations of BHBs during their "decay phase" to study the accretion physics and disk truncation in the low-hard state. Caltech is a private research university that has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years, primarily from NASA and the Department of Defense, to support a wide range of scientific research and technical services. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program.
Description
We propose target of opportunity (too) observations of any new or known bhbs during the decay phase returning to the hard state, in order to obtain data with a signal-to-noise sufficient to accurately measure the level of disk truncation during the low-hard state and provide a description of the accretion physics taking place in these sources.
