- This is a $67,954 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan State University (MSU) for research on the Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The award is part of a joint research effort between NASA's NuSTAR and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) to investigate black hole flares, shadows, and a new hard X-ray source. The grant is a firm fixed-price contract with no set-aside designation, allowing MSU to compete...
- Michigan State University received a $437,305 research grant from a civilian federal agency, with a completion date of January 11, 2027. The award supports an astrophysics research initiative focused on measuring nova spectral energy distributions (SEDs) across multiple wavelengths as they evolve during eruption. The research team will leverage 15 years of archival ultraviolet and X-ray data collected by NASA facilities, particularly the Swift satellite, combined with ground-based optical and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $92,449.00, was granted to Michigan State University (MSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research to understand the gamma-ray production mechanism in nova shocks. The contract has an estimated completion date of August 31, 2025 and is classified as a grant for research. MSU, a leading public research institution, has a strong track record of federal contract and grant awards, leveraging its expertise across diverse fields...
- This is a $59,963 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Michigan State University (MSU) to conduct research on the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The research, titled "JOINT NUSTAR AND EHT PROBE OF SGR A*: FLARES, BLACK HOLE SHADOWS AND A NEW HARD X-RAY SOURCE," will use NASA's NuSTAR satellite and the Event Horizon Telescope to study the black hole known as Sagittarius A*. The grant does not have a set-aside designation,...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Michigan State University for research on characterizing the atmospheres of small planets. The $243,273.00 grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. As a top research university with expertise in areas like astronomy, physics, and materials science, Michigan State University is well-positioned to contribute to NASA's efforts...
This is a $113,364.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan State University (MSU) for the "Uncovering Fermi Galactic Binaries with SOAR Spectroscopy" project. The grant is to support a two-year program to discover and characterize new galactic compact binaries among unidentified Fermi sources through spectroscopic and photometric observations. The project aims to obtain spectroscopic orbital solutions for 20 new galactic Fermi sources, which are likely to be new pulsar binaries. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, as MSU is a large educational institution competing for federal opportunities. This grant award is part of MSU's broader portfolio of federal contracts and grants, which leverage the university's expertise across diverse fields to support the research and development needs of government agencies like NASA.
