About this award
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. received a $61,854 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center to model astrophysical plasma in Centaurus X-3 (Cen X-3) using NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) observations conducted during XRISM (X-Ray Imaging Spectroscopy Mission) Performance Verification activities. The award, issued on February 29, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2027, supports fundamental astrophysics research at the university's Daytona Beach, Florida campus. This project falls within NASA's broader space science portfolio and represents the university's continued engagement in advanced sensor technology development and plasma physics research using satellite-based observational data.
The contract is being executed through Embry-Riddle's Office of Sponsored Research Administration without a small business set-aside designation. The research aligns with the university's established expertise in astrophysical plasma modeling and space science applications, complementing its prior NASA-funded initiatives in solar wind formation studies, Langmuir probe development, and lunar exospheric observations. The NuSTAR/XRISM collaborative effort leverages complementary X-ray spectroscopic capabilities to advance understanding of accretion physics and plasma behavior in binary X-ray systems, contributing to NASA's scientific objectives in high-energy astrophysics.
