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 $59,629 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to continue research on gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their implications for physics, including theories of quantum gravity and constraints on the extragalactic background light. The grant, which runs from February 1, 2021 to January 31, 2024, does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Maryland, College Park is a state-controlled institution of...
This is a $68,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to continue research on gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their central engines. The grant is part of a larger research program focused on understanding the physics of GRBs and their implications for theories of quantum gravity and constraints on the extragalactic background light. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a state-controlled...
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...
This is a $49,230 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct a search for quasiperiodic oscillations in short gamma ray bursts detected by the Fermi/GBM (Gamma-ray Burst Monitor) instrument. The grant, which has a September 10, 2025 completion date, is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UMD is a U.S. state government entity, 1862 land grant college, and state-controlled institution of higher...
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...
This federal contract award was made by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The $78,926.69 grant will fund the development of the Deca-Degree Optical Imager (DDOTI), a wide-field optical telescope in San Pedro Martir, Mexico. The purpose is to rapidly localize and follow up on poorly localized gamma-ray bursts detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, as well as complement ongoing efforts to...
This is a $873,428.00 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "The Onset of Reconnection and Associated Turbulence in Solar Eruptions". The grant has a period of performance from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2025. The University of Maryland, College Park is a state-controlled institution of higher learning that frequently receives federal contract and grant awards to...
This federal contract award, with the ID 80NSSC21K2001, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park, a state-controlled institution of higher learning. The $73,393 grant is for research to investigate the fundamental plane relationship that governs the observable parameters of young and millisecond pulsars detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The University of Maryland, College Park, which is part of the...
This federal contract award, valued at $49,678.20, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on the search for Axion-Like Particles (ALP) dark matter in the precursor emission of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (LGRBs). The award is part of NASA's "EO14042 LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL" program, which focuses on advancing scientific understanding in this area. UMD, a prominent research...
