- This federal contract award, NNX17AF29G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The $455,070.73 grant will fund a research project titled "Unifying Spectral and Timing Studies of Relativistic Reflection in Active Galactic Nuclei." The project aims to develop new analysis tools for conducting a unified spectral-timing analysis of X-ray properties of active galactic nuclei, with the goal of enhancing the...
- The University of Maryland, College Park has been awarded a $221,658 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, with a completion deadline of May 15, 2026. This grant, awarded on May 16, 2024, supports fundamental research into the cosmic cycle of metals as found in hot, X-ray emitting gas within galaxy clusters. The award is not set aside for any specific business category, reflecting the university's competitive standing as a research-intensive institution capable of...
- This federal contract award, valued at $430,318, 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 contract is a research grant to advance the scientific understanding of cold dense matter beyond nuclear saturation density, such as exists in the cores of neutron stars. This research has applications for the study of astrophysical phenomena. The University of Maryland, College...
- This federal contract award, worth $1,009,999.96, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). The award, which has no set-aside designation, supports UMD's research goals to constrain the timing and processes of important early solar system events, as well as to determine the proportions and provenance of materials involved in these processes. The research will primarily utilize siderophile element abundance and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $69,999.61, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), a prominent state-controlled institution of higher learning. The contract, titled "EXPLORING SHOCK ACCELERATION IN NOVAE AT HIGH AND VERY HIGH ENERGIES", is a grant for research related to space exploration. UMD, as the prime contractor, will conduct this fundamental and applied research without any set-aside...
This federal contract award, valued at $224,951.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The purpose of the award is to conduct a detailed study of the chemical enrichment history of galaxy clusters out to the virial radius using X-ray spectroscopic data from the Suzaku and XMM-Newton observatories. The study aims to better understand the origin of metal enrichment in the intracluster medium, which has implications for our knowledge of star formation, supernova progenitors, and the thermal history of galaxy clusters. This research directly supports NASA's strategic objective to improve the understanding of how the universe works and evolve. The award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Maryland, College Park is a child entity of the University System of Maryland, which has a history of providing various research, educational, and technology services to federal agencies through prime contracts and grants.
