About this award
The University of California, San Diego received a $108,160.99 research grant from a civilian federal agency to conduct rapid follow-up observations of unknown MAXI (Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image) X-ray transients located between 10 and 47 degrees of the Sun using the NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) space observatory. The award supports a target of opportunity program designed to observe up to three X-ray transient sources that would be difficult or impossible for other observatories to access due to their proximity to the Sun. Through tiling of MAXI error regions, source localization, and spectral analysis, the observations aim to classify these sources and advance understanding of fundamental astrophysical phenomena including accretion disk evolution during outbursts and the onset of jet formation. This contract was not designated with a set-aside and carries a completion date of December 21, 2024.
The work will be performed at UC San Diego's La Jolla, California campus. As a leading public research institution, UCSD brings substantial expertise in space-based astronomical research and has a demonstrated track record of executing federal research contracts and grants across multiple scientific domains. The research aligns with broader federal investment in space science and astrophysics through NASA-related initiatives, leveraging specialized observational capabilities to address open questions in high-energy astrophysics and transient object characterization.
