About this award
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), a division of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), was awarded a $25,629.95 research grant (22-XMMNC21-0001) by NASA's Shared Services Center on January 6, 2023, for a project titled "Origin and Role of Dust in AGN: Revealing the Dusty Wind in NGC 6860." The award is classified as a non-competitive grant without set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by February 11, 2026. The work will be performed at STScI's facility in Baltimore, Maryland. AURA, a non-profit organization that manages and operates major astronomical observatories on behalf of federal agencies, brings extensive expertise in space-based astronomical research and advanced data analysis for complex space telescope missions to this project.
This research grant supports scientific investigation into active galactic nuclei (AGN), specifically examining the dusty winds present in the galaxy NGC 6860. The project aligns with NASA's broader astrophysics research initiatives focused on understanding galactic phenomena and developing advanced astronomical observation techniques. STScI's role as the primary scientific research facility for space telescope missions, combined with AURA's collaborative network spanning academic institutions and research centers, positions the organization well to conduct this specialized astrophysical investigation and contribute to the scientific knowledge base regarding dust dynamics in active galaxies.
