Texas A&M University is a prominent institution with expertise in fields such as engineering, agriculture, and national security, and it...
- This federal contract award, valued at $98,289.65, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University, a public research university in College Station, Texas, to conduct a two-year follow-up program to rapidly observe all nearby extragalactic transients, mostly supernovae, without waiting for spectroscopic classification. The goal is to obtain early ultraviolet and X-ray data to constrain the progenitor systems of these events, contributing to...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC20K0951, was granted to Texas A&M University, a public land-grant research university in College Station, Texas. The $39,931.91 grant is for research on the physical origin and cosmological impact of the diversity observed in Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), which are commonly used as "standard candles" in astronomy. The award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $282,978.94 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate the cosmological and theoretical implications of the Swift space telescope's discovery of bimodality in the ultraviolet-optical colors of normal Type Ia supernovae. The research aims to dramatically increase the sample of supernovae observed by the Swift ultraviolet/optical telescope (UVOT) and analyze the...
- This is a $109,850.89 grant award to Texas A&M University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the "QUAVAR A PIPELINE AND LEGACY SAMPLE FOR AGN VARIABILITY AND ACCRETION DISK PHYSICS" project. The grant is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. Texas A&M University is a public research university and 1862 land grant institution that regularly receives federal research and development contracts and grants across a wide range of...
- Texas A&M University has been awarded a $69,998.73 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the origin of high-frequency radio emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a focus on unveiling the corona. The grant, designated 22-TESS22-0025, was awarded on January 30, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of January 29, 2025. The research will be conducted at the university's College Station, Texas campus. This award carries no...
- The U.S. government has awarded a $36,927.55 grant for research to Texas A&M University to produce a comprehensive catalog of improved ephemerides and stellar parameters for classical variable stars. This research grant is funded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center. Texas A&M University, a prominent public land-grant research university, has been awarded this grant to conduct this scientific research project with a completion date of September 9, 2025. The university...
- This is a $79,993.45 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University, to conduct research on "superluminous supernovae" - stellar explosions with peak luminosities too high to be powered by traditional energy sources. The research aims to investigate the possible role of a millisecond magnetar engine in powering these events. The award is not associated with a...
- This is a $328,718.59 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for research on core collapse supernovae. The objective is to model and analyze archived supernova light curve data to better understand the effects of different progenitor stars and environmental factors on supernova subtypes. This is being done through a newly developed software database called the Supernova Analysis Application (SNAP). The award is not set...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University for a project titled "Seeing Core-Collapse Supernovae in the Ultraviolet". The $477,930.37 grant will fund research to better understand the properties and evolution of core-collapse supernovae through the analysis of ultraviolet observations from various space missions, including the Swift satellite. The project aims to create bolometric light curves and spectra to constrain the physical properties of these supernova events, as well as to improve the use of supernovae as cosmological distance indicators. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Texas A&M's ability to compete for unrestricted federal research funding. As a large public university with extensive expertise in fields like astronomy and astrophysics, Texas A&M is well-positioned to contribute to NASA's scientific research agenda through this type of grant award.
