About this award
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), a division of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), has been awarded a $20,000 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center to conduct research on "Catching Transient Obscuring Outflows in AGN with Swift." The award, issued on March 1, 2025, supports scientific investigation into active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their transient outflow phenomena using the Swift space telescope. The research will be performed at STScI's location in Baltimore, Maryland, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2027. This grant was awarded through open competition with no set-aside designation.
STScI, as a premier astronomical research institution under AURA's management, brings substantial expertise in space-based observational astronomy and astrophysical research. The institute operates under NASA and plays a critical role in supporting federal scientific research initiatives. This particular grant aligns with NASA's broader scientific mission to advance understanding of extreme astrophysical phenomena and the behavior of supermassive black holes in distant galaxies. The research on AGN transient outflows contributes to fundamental knowledge of how active galactic nuclei interact with their surrounding environments and evolve over time.
