About this award
This $120,000 grant was awarded on May 5, 2023, to the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), a division of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), to support research titled "Transforming Our Knowledge of AGN Winds with XRISM." The contract, which is not set-aside and will be completed by September 30, 2026, is funded through NASA's Shared Services Center and involves research to be conducted at the STScI location in Baltimore, Maryland. The project focuses on advancing understanding of active galactic nuclei (AGN) winds through observations and analysis using the X-ray Imaging Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), a space telescope designed to provide high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of celestial objects.
AURA, through its STScI division, is well-positioned to execute this research, given its extensive expertise in space-based astronomical research, advanced data analysis techniques, and its critical role in supporting NASA's scientific missions. STScI serves as the Science Institute for major space telescopes and brings significant capabilities in developing scientific tools and conducting complex astronomical research. This grant aligns with NASA's broader astrophysics research objectives, particularly in studying the properties and behavior of supermassive black holes and their impact on galaxy evolution through the analysis of high-energy X-ray emissions from AGN outflows.
