About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $62,762 research grant to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), operating through its Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) division, on March 1, 2024. The grant, designated 23-XMMNC22-0020, funds research titled "Catching Changing-Look NGC 3516 at a Bright Flux to Establish the Role of Winds," with performance conducted in Baltimore, Maryland, and a completion date of February 28, 2027. This award was not designated as a set-aside contract and was subject to open competition. The funding originates from NASA's Shared Services Center, which manages various research initiatives across the agency's scientific missions.
The project examines the active galactic nucleus NGC 3516 during a bright flux state to investigate the role of stellar winds in changing-look active galactic nuclei phenomena. This research aligns with STScI's extensive portfolio of astrophysical research supported by federal agencies and represents the Institute's core competency in advanced astronomical observation and data analysis. AURA, a non-profit organization that has managed and operated major federal observatories since 2002, brings institutional expertise in space-based astronomical research and frequently collaborates with leading academic and research institutions to advance NASA's science objectives in astrophysics and space exploration.
