- This is a $56,520.49 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Virginia (UVA) for research related to a young, highly reddened active galactic nucleus (AGN) with recently-launched radio jets. The key objectives are to test the feasibility of X-ray observations, measure the accretion properties, and characterize the nuclear environment and jet launching region of this AGN using 70 kilosecond NuSTAR observations. The award is not associated with...
This is a $285,597 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA), a public research university. The grant supports research on "Hot-Atom Collisions in Planetary Atmospheres: Atmospheric Escape," which aims to improve the accuracy of collision cross-section models used in simulations of planetary atmosphere escape processes. This is part of the broader goal of understanding the evolution of planetary atmospheres, leveraging data from missions like Cassini, New Horizons, and MAVEN. The research involves calculating collision energy transfer and dissociation cross-sections for hot atoms interacting with other atoms and molecules in planetary upper atmospheres and exospheres. This work is intended to enhance the fidelity of models used to simulate atmospheric escape, a key process in solar system studies. There is no set-aside designation for this grant, which has an ultimate completion date of July 14, 2019.
