- This is a $75,000.00 federal grant award made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, for a research project titled "Radiation and Polarization Signatures from 3D Relativistic Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection in Blazars". The grant, with a performance period ending on September 30, 2022, does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading research university, Purdue University has a long history of...
- This is a $497,635 federal research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University. The grant supports Purdue's research on the physics of pulsars, including the generation of coherent radio emission, high-energy radiation processes, and particle acceleration in pulsar wind nebulae. The research will combine analytical and numerical modeling to advance understanding of astrophysical plasma dynamics and emission mechanisms relevant to pulsars and...
- This is a $75,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant is for a study of blazar high energy events using optical polarimetry and photometry. Blazars are a type of active galactic nucleus with powerful jets pointed toward Earth. This research grant will allow Boston University to conduct observations and analysis related to high energy events associated...
- This is a $74,842.15 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a nonprofit research institution and 1862 land grant university located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The grant is for research related to the detection of very high energy neutrinos from the TXS 0506+056 gamma-ray flare, which could indicate a hadronic origin of blazar emission. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Purdue University has a history of supporting NASA...
- This federal contract award, valued at $412,064.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution. The award supports research on "Relativistic Jets: Acceleration, Dissipation and Interactions with Ambient Gas", focusing on the study of collimated, relativistic outflows originating from compact objects like black holes and neutron stars. The research aims to develop a self-consistent model connecting...
- This $40,635.49 federal grant award to Stanford University provides funding for data analysis of observations of jet-dominated active galaxies known as blazars. The observations will be conducted jointly by the NASA NuSTAR satellite and other observatories including the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, as well as ground-based optical, radio, and very high energy gamma-ray facilities. The goal is to study the spectral and variability properties of these strong and variable X-ray and gamma-ray...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AU76G, was granted by the Shared Services Center on behalf of NASA to Purdue University. The contract, valued at $539,891.01, supports a research project investigating the properties of active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets at parsec and kiloparsec scales. The research aims to better understand the connections between these jet structures and gamma-ray activity, as well as test unified AGN models and the proposed fast spine-slow sheath structure of TeV BL...
- This is a $510,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research project titled "The Gamma-Ray/Optical Connection in Blazars During the Fermi Era." The grant supports the continuation of optical monitoring and spectropolarimetry observations of gamma-ray-bright blazars observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The data collected will be compiled into a...
- This is a $74,999.92 research grant awarded to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project related to modeling the gamma-ray emission from blazars, a type of active galactic nucleus. The proposed work aims to address a long-standing issue in the field by exploring the effects of moving the blazar emission location beyond the parsec-scale external photon fields and modeling it as synchrotron-self Compton of first...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, a not-for-profit educational institution, for a project titled "MOJAVE: PROBING ACCELERATION, MAGNETIC FIELD EVOLUTION AND GAMMA-RAY EMISSION IN AGN JETS". The $299,590.00 grant is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor, Purdue University has extensive experience supporting U.S. government agencies through a variety of...
