- 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 $116,142.95 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on properties of accretion disks, relativistic jets, and the regions of strong gravity near black holes. The research aims to improve understanding of black hole X-ray binaries. The grant is part of a larger research portfolio at UC Berkeley, which has received over $825,000 in prime federal contract awards from agencies like NASA and the Department of Defense to investigate...
- 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...
- 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...
- 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 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...
- This is a $475,668.86 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration. The grant is for research on "Instability, Turbulence, and Enhanced Transport in Collisionless Black-Hole Accretion Flows." The research aims to develop a comprehensive first-principles study of the plasma physics of collisionless accretion flows using both analytic and state-of-the-art numerical models....
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $92,912.52 research grant from a civilian federal agency with a completion date of December 31, 2024. This award supports an astrophysical research project investigating hard X-rays emitted from accreting white dwarfs in magnetic cataclysmic variables. The research leverages observations from NuSTAR and XMM satellites to measure white dwarf masses by analyzing shock-heating signatures in accretion columns, with a specific focus on determining...
- This is a $530,852.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on astrophysical black holes. The grant is not a set-aside contract. Caltech is a private university that specializes in science and engineering research, and has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years to support NASA and Department of Defense programs. This research grant will study...
