About this award
The Pennsylvania State University received a $522.5K research grant (24-ADAP24-0080) from a civilian federal agency to support astronomical research examining gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) through collaborative analysis of data from NASA's Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) instruments. The project, titled "By Their Powers Combined: Swift-BAT and Fermi-GBM Unveil Thousands of New GRBs," will be conducted at Penn State's University Park campus and is scheduled for completion by January 12, 2028. This award utilizes no set-aside designation, indicating Penn State competed on technical merit and capability to lead this research initiative.
As a major public land-grant research university, Penn State brings substantial expertise in space exploration and advanced scientific research to this project. The grant supports the university's ongoing commitment to astronomical research and represents collaboration between two significant NASA space missions to detect and characterize gamma-ray bursts, which are among the most energetic phenomena in the universe. The research outcomes are expected to expand the catalog of known GRBs and enhance understanding of these transient cosmic events through coordinated observation and analysis.
