The University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects was awarded a $220,173.53 research grant effective January 1, 2021, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2024. This civilian federal grant, funded through a Shared Services Center, supports astrophysical research focused on analyzing archival observations of galaxy clusters to advance understanding of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback mechanisms and intracluster medium (ICM) dynamics. The project leverages data from NuSTAR Observatory alongside Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of three cool core clusters—the Perseus Cluster (NGC 1275), the Cygnus A Cluster, and the Virgo Cluster (M87)—to develop sophisticated modeling techniques that separate point source AGN contributions from surrounding extended emission at higher X-ray energies. The research addresses a significant gap in understanding how AGN feedback regulates cooling in galaxy clusters through analysis of relativistic particle populations and thermal gas structures. By employing previously developed methods to account for NuSTAR's point spread function characteristics, the project will enable detection and constraint of non-thermal emissions that have previously been obscured by instrumental limitations. This award represents no set-aside designation and reflects the University of Utah's established capabilities in federal research funding, particularly within the Department of Energy and National Science Foundation portfolio of astrophysical investigations.
