- This is a $223,409 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for a research project titled "ASTRO-H IS A POWERFUL OBSERVATORY FOR STUDYING THIS RELATIVISTIC REFLECTION". The project aims to characterize the relativistic reflection in several active galactic nuclei using the spectroscopic capabilities of the ASTRO-H observatory. This grant is part of NASA's "AGN AND CLUSTER STUDIES WITH ASTRO-H"...
- 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,...
- 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 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...
- 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...
