This is a $502,040.17 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Sponsored Projects Administration Division (Columbia University), a private non-profit university, to conduct research on compact supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs). The purpose of the research is to identify a population of SMBHBs in galactic nuclei, which are believed to form frequently in galaxy mergers and are prime...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to New York University (NYU) to investigate the physics behind core-collapse supernovae and ultra-relativistic outflows using pulsar wind nebulae. The $310,269.19 grant will fund research to measure the properties of 17 neutron stars and their associated pulsar wind nebulae in order to address fundamental questions about how neutron stars form, how particles are created and accelerated in...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $80,000 grant to The Trustees Of Columbia University In The City Of New York Sponsored Projects Administration Division, operating as Columbia University, to support research titled "Gamma-Ray Precursors of Neutron Star Mergers." The research will be conducted over a one-year period ending October 31, 2024 in New York, New York. The pricing structure is other than firm-fixed-price. Columbia University...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) for $116,879.00. The grant supports research to search for gamma-ray burst (GRB) events similar to GRB 170817A, which is the only confirmed counterpart to a binary neutron star (BNS) merger detected to date. The goal is to better understand the physics linking BNS mergers to short GRBs, using data from the Burst and Transient Source...
This is a $79,998.23 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on radiative shocks and high-energy particle acceleration in classical nova outflows. The research aims to extend previous analytic and simulation work to global 2D and 3D models of the shock interaction and associated multi-wavelength emissions, as well as predict particle acceleration efficiencies. The grant will also focus on connecting the...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $470,905 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) to mine the Swift gamma-ray burst archive and discover new short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The goal is to systematically search the untapped Swift data archive to find GRBs that were not detected by the on-board trigger system. Any GRBs found will be correlated with signals from other facilities such as the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope and gravitational wave...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $61,332.44 grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on changes in the accretion disk boundary layer of a symbiotic recurrent nova, T CRB. The research aims to observe T CRB when it returns to its quiescent state, which may occur during NASA's 19th Announcement of Opportunity (AO19), in order to test the hypothesis that nova eruptions in T CRB are preceded by periods of enhanced...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $642,219.83 grant is for research on "Tidal Disruption Events from Eccentric Nuclear Disks in Post-Merger Galaxies." The research aims to quantify the dynamics of eccentric nuclear disks around supermassive black holes and the resulting tidal...
This is a $1,494,932 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to conduct research and simulations on binary neutron star mergers. The goal is to complement recent observational successes in multimessenger astronomy with detailed simulations modeling the full coalescence process, from prior to merger through the formation of accretion disks, jets, and outflows. RIT is working with researchers at Johns Hopkins...
This is a $230,042 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York for research on the magnetic field structure and evolution of young neutron stars. The grant funds the modeling and analysis of X-ray data to infer the surface temperature distributions and magnetic field topologies of central compact object (CCO) pulsars and magnetars. This research aims to provide insight into the populations and...
