- This is a $223,411.23 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to support the principal investigator's research using data from the Astro-H spacecraft. The research will focus on understanding the structure of the iron K-band in active galactic nuclei, the thermal structure of cooling flows, the chemical abundances in elliptical galaxies and galaxy clusters, and the nature of ultra-luminous X-ray sources. This grant...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AF29G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The $455,070.73 grant will fund a research project titled "Unifying Spectral and Timing Studies of Relativistic Reflection in Active Galactic Nuclei." The project aims to develop new analysis tools for conducting a unified spectral-timing analysis of X-ray properties of active galactic nuclei, with the goal of enhancing the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $372,401.89 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on active galactic nuclei (AGN) heating in galaxy clusters. The research aims to improve the modeling of the intracluster medium (ICM) beyond pure hydrodynamics by incorporating the effects of cosmic rays and anisotropic transport processes in a weakly collisional plasma. The objectives include understanding how CR-dominated bubbles heat the ICM,...
- This is a $37,439.76 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a research project on the time-domain variability analysis of 117 blazars (active galactic nuclei) in the Swift-BAT 105-month catalog. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research university, UMD has a long history of receiving federal grants and contracts from agencies like NASA, the National Science...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $540,470.00 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for research related to the formation and evolution of compact star clusters at high redshifts. The research aims to investigate several aspects of the underlying astrophysics, including the role of these clusters in producing seeds for supermassive black holes, the physics of their formation and growth, the impact of X-ray heating, and their influence on the...
- This is a $223,788.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant is part of the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission, an X-ray observatory on the International Space Station that studies neutron stars. Under this grant, the University of Maryland will assess potential NICER targets, develop data analysis tools, apply those tools to NICER data, and publicly disseminate the analysis...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to provide Intensive Disk Reverberation Mapping (IDRM) research on active galactic nuclei (AGN). The $158,997.84 award will fund daily observations of the Fairall 9 AGN using the Swift satellite, as well as supporting ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope observations, to study the physics of AGN central engines. The research aims to...
- This $41,276.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to continue a successful program of follow-up observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The program aims to provide rapid and accurate localizations, photometric redshifts, and multi-color afterglow observations of these high-energy GRB events, which have opened up new realms of study from GRB physics to theories...
- This is a $30,083 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to monitor a changing-look active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a newly-launched radio jet. The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026, is for research and does not utilize any set-aside designations. UMBC, a public research university known for its expertise in scientific research and analysis, will lead this project...
