About this award
The Smithsonian Institution, operating through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division in Cambridge, Massachusetts, received a $38.5K research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to support "Catching the Fireball Phase of Nova T Corona Borealis." Awarded on May 28, 2025, this grant-type contract carries no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by May 27, 2026. The research initiative focuses on observational astrophysics, specifically examining the early explosive phase of a classical nova system, which represents a critical opportunity to capture transient astronomical phenomena and advance understanding of stellar explosions.
As a leading non-profit research organization and trust instrumentality of the U.S. government, SAO brings substantial expertise in ground-based observational astronomy and astrophysical research to this project. The grant aligns with SAO's established portfolio of federally funded scientific research initiatives, which typically involve collaborative partnerships with academic institutions and federal agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation. This award supports SAO's mission to conduct advanced scientific research and expand fundamental knowledge in astrophysics through specialized instrumentation and observational capabilities.
