The grant, with a ceiling value of $14,529, is for a research project titled "Comparison of X Ray and Optical UV Eddington Ratio Estimates in Quasars." The project will involve studying the properties of quasars, which are extremely luminous active galactic nuclei, by comparing different methods of estimating their...
Drexel University has been awarded a $150,000 grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to investigate chaos and complexity in the accretion modes of stellar and supermassive black holes. The research will be conducted under NASA's ASTRO program to advance understanding of astrophysical phenomena. Drexel will serve as the prime contractor and perform the entire scope of work, with all activities taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,...
This is a $310,260 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Eureka Scientific, Inc., a small disadvantaged business in California. The grant is for a study of the high energy X-ray spectra emitted from active galactic nuclei (AGN) surrounding supermassive black holes, to better understand the impacts of general relativistic strong-field gravity. The work aligns with NASA's strategic goals in astrophysics and gravitational physics research. Eureka...
Drexel University was awarded a $14,529 grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
