- This federal contract award is for the development of advanced data analysis methods for Compton telescopes, which are used in astrophysics, heliophysics, planetary sciences, and other applications. The University of California, Berkeley, was awarded a $149,930.54 research grant (NNX17AC84G) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to create a hybrid reconstruction approach that can accurately retrieve source parameters such as location, spectrum, polarization, and flux from...
- This federal contract award is for a grant to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the observation and modeling of a black hole transient during its outburst. The award, valued at $80,719.94, is part of the EO14042 program and is funded by a civilian government agency, the Shared Services Center. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. UC Berkeley, a public...

The contract is a grant for research and was awarded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center. The award has no set-aside designation, indicating open competition. UC...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC23K0487, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $88,674 grant is for a research project titled "EO14042 SPIN AND REFLECTION IN A BLACK HOLE TRANSIENT". The contract is a Grant for Research with a pricing type of "Other" and an ultimate completion...
- This federal contract award, valued at $85,642.96, was granted by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The contract is for a research grant to investigate the hard X-rays produced by accreting white dwarfs in magnetic cataclysmic variables. This research aims to advance the understanding of shock-heating in accretion columns. The contract has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2023...
- This federal contract award, valued at $581,072.73, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The award supports research on mitigating systematic effects in the measurement of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which is crucial for detecting the faint signal of primordial gravitational waves that could provide insights into cosmic inflation. The project...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC19K1389, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The $1,234,274.93 grant is for a "REFLIGHT OF COSI" which will allow the university to obtain more science results on transient events, combine new data with 2016 data to improve statistics for positron and nucleosynthesis studies, and provide training...
- This is a grant award to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the development of focal-plane detector and multiplexed detector technology, as well as mission simulations, for next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization missions. The award, valued at $203,315.66, has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2023. The award was not set aside for any...
- This is a federal contract award from NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on black hole accretion disks. The $104,999.99 training grant aims to improve the treatment of radiating electrons in multi-dimensional computer simulations of these extreme astrophysical systems. The research seeks to address several poorly understood emission properties of low-luminosity accreting black holes, including those in X-ray binary systems, Sagittarius A*, M87, and...
- This is a $89,999.02 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is for research on stellar-mass black holes, which are the end product of massive star evolution. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 12, 2023. The Regents of the University of California, through its UC Berkeley campus, is the prime grant recipient. UC Berkeley...
This federal contract award, valued at $88,000.00, was granted to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the polarization of gamma-rays emitted by neutron stars and black holes. The goal is to use the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) telescope to measure the gamma-ray polarization of compact objects like the Crab Pulsar and Nebula and the black hole binary Cygnus X-1, which will provide insights into the underlying physics of these extreme astrophysical phenomena. This award is not associated with a set-aside contract and is structured as a training grant with a completion date of August 31, 2019.
