- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $435,149.24 grant to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), doing business as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), to investigate the resolved variations of dust abundance and properties within and between nearby galaxies. The goal is to inform chemical evolution models, constrain dust formation and destruction processes, and improve dust and gas mass estimates in the distant universe....
- The Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory has been awarded a $541,483 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to make the results of its work available to the astronomy community for immediate use in spectral analysis. As the prime grantee, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory will leverage its expertise in areas such as solar winds, planetary atmospheres, black holes, galaxy formation, and heliophysics to advance scientific knowledge in...
- This is a $153,214 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Institution, operating through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory division, to conduct research on constraining the properties of active galactic nuclei (AGN) coronae using a sample of luminous, high-redshift quasars observed by the NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) mission. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, as a non-profit research...
- This is a $1,959,917.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center division of NASA to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to gain a comprehensive understanding of the global energy budget and energy partitioning in solar eruptive events from the chromosphere to the inner heliosphere. As a leading provider of scientific research, instrumentation development, and data system services to federal agencies, the Smithsonian Institution through its SAO division frequently collaborates...
- The Smithsonian Institution, operating through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division, has been awarded a $746,808.00 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project titled "Characterization of Near-Earth Objects Using Spitzer NEO Program Data". The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025, is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. The Smithsonian Institution is a non-profit organization and a...
- This federal contract award, valued at $528,564.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center division of NASA to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO). The contract is a grant for research focused on "Dust Destruction in the Inhomogeneous Interstellar Medium" and does not have a set-aside designation. The Smithsonian Institution, as a trust instrumentality of the United States, is a leading provider of scientific research, instrumentation...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution. The $477,789.73 grant supports two related research projects to explore dust transport and evolution in the interstellar medium within galaxies. The first project aims to improve modeling of how supernova-created dust grains escape their natal ejecta and the hot interior of supernova remnants, to determine how much dust can be injected into the interstellar medium by supernovae. The second project will model the subsequent transport and processing of dust grains from their birthplaces until they are destroyed, to understand how the observed size distribution, abundance, and lifetime of grains are determined by processes throughout the interstellar medium. This work is expected to aid in understanding a wide range of NASA mission observations related to infrared emission, elemental depletion, and x-ray emission. The results will also contribute to broader investigations of star formation, metallicity evolution, and galaxy evolution.
