This is a $421,104.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Corporation (Georgia TECH Research Corp), a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The grant is for a research program to investigate the properties of accretion flows around coalescing massive black hole binaries, which has implications for the feasibility of detecting both...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $506,702 grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, operating as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to support research investigating the intricate connections between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The research is intended to further understanding of black hole feedback properties and the co-evolution of galaxies and their central black holes. NASA will fund the four-year project being conducted in Atlanta,...
This is a $502,040.17 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Sponsored Projects Administration Division (Columbia University), a private non-profit university, to conduct research on compact supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs).
The purpose of the research is to identify a population of SMBHBs in galactic nuclei, which are believed to form frequently in galaxy mergers and are prime...
This is a $591,874 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech), a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, to conduct research on simulating luminous black hole accretion disks and coronae. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
Georgia Tech, through its Office of Sponsored Programs, has a history of delivering a wide range of research,...
This is a $436,539 grant awarded by NASA to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York for research on the impact of nucleosynthesis on accretion disks, outflows, and observable signatures associated with the merger of binary compact objects and the central engines of gamma-ray bursts and supernovae. The research program will investigate rapid accretion following the tidal disruption of a white dwarf by a neutron star or black hole, as well as the long-term evolution of...
This is a $253,940 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant supports research on the X-ray spectra of accreting black holes, which can provide insights into black hole spin and formation.
The project aims to analyze archival data from the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) satellite, in combination with data from other...
This is a $74,996.07 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado for a study on the origins of high-energy gamma-ray emissions from the supermassive black hole in the galaxy M87. The research will use state-of-the-art radiation general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations to model the photon distribution near the black hole's event horizon and investigate particle acceleration mechanisms, with the goal of directly comparing the resulting gamma-ray...
This is a $10,506.61 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for research on a large number of non-interacting black holes expected to exist close to the solar system. The grant has no set-aside designation. MIT, a world-class private research university, frequently partners with the U.S. federal government on cutting-edge scientific research and development projects across disciplines like physics,...
This is a $435,471.32 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant supports Caltech's study of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries as a means to better understand the behavior and properties of supermassive black holes, which are crucial for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. The research leverages Caltech's expertise in black hole accretion...
This is a $310,260 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Eureka Scientific, Inc., a small disadvantaged business in California. The grant is for a study of the high energy X-ray spectra emitted from active galactic nuclei (AGN) surrounding supermassive black holes, to better understand the impacts of general relativistic strong-field gravity. The work aligns with NASA's strategic goals in astrophysics and gravitational physics research. Eureka...
