This federal contract award from NASA to Columbia University, valued at $205,399.89, is for the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission. NICER is an Explorer mission that will use the International Space Station as a platform to study neutron stars at X-ray wavelengths. The contract involves assessments of potential NICER targets, development of data analysis tools, application of those tools to NICER data, and public dissemination of the analysis results. This work will...
This federal contract award, valued at $472,898.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona to support the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission. NICER is a space-based observatory that will study the radius and compactness of neutron stars with high precision. The award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Arizona, as the prime contractor, will use advanced modeling techniques to analyze data...
This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC21K1177, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Associated Universities Inc. (AUI), a non-profit research management corporation. The $19,538.68 grant is for research on ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) using the NuSTAR observatory. The research aims to investigate the power source driving the extreme luminosity of these galaxies, whether it is an active galactic nucleus (AGN) or a starburst. The award does not...
This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $235,791, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Associated Universities Inc. (AUI), a non-profit research management corporation that operates major national and international scientific facilities, primarily in the field of radio astronomy. The contract, which is for research to characterize protostellar disk structure at the dawn of planet formation, does not have a set-aside designation. AUI has received...
This contract award to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) provides $3,568,332.30 in funding to support services for the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission during its "bridge phase" between the prime mission and a potential mission extension. The work will focus on two areas: (1) supporting the performance and calibration of the NICER detector system, which was built by the MIT team, and (2) conducting data analyses and legacy science. The contract...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $37,500 grant to The George Washington University Student Accounts Office / Third Party Division. The grant, numbered 20-NICER20-0001, will fund NICER TOO Observations of Swift/XRT Deep Galactic Plane Survey (DGPS) Sources. The work will be performed in Washington, DC over a period of approximately two years, from February 2022 through August 2024. As part of NASA's broader astrophysics programs, this grant supports...
This is a $37,500 federal grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to Eureka Scientific, Inc., a small disadvantaged business based in Piedmont, California. The grant is for research on modeling the spectra of low-mass X-ray binary neutron stars, leveraging data from NASA's NICER X-ray telescope. Eureka Scientific will provide research services including data analysis and paper writing related to observations from space telescopes like Chandra, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and Swift. This award...
