About this award
This federal contract award from NASA to Columbia University, valued at $205,399.89, is for the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission. NICER is an Explorer mission that will use the International Space Station as a platform to study neutron stars at X-ray wavelengths. The contract involves assessments of potential NICER targets, development of data analysis tools, application of those tools to NICER data, and public dissemination of the analysis results. This work will support NASA's research goals in the areas of extreme gravity, stellar evolution, and the nature of ultra-dense matter. The contract is not a set-aside and was awarded directly to Columbia University, which has a history of conducting federal research and development across a wide range of scientific and technical domains.
Description
The neutron star interior composition explorer (nicer) is an explorer mission of opportunity that will serve as an observatory, working at x-RAY wavelengths and using the international space station as a platform, to study neutron STARS. The proposed effort involves assessments of potential nicer targets, development of data analysis tools, application of those tools to nicer data, and public dissemination of the analysis results. The columbia u. Work will bolster nicer s scientific productivity in the study of x-RAY-emitting astrophysical objects, furthering NASA s research goals in the areas of extreme gravity, the evolution of STARS, and the nature of ultra-dense matter.
