- This is a $327,000 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to support research into tidal disruption events (TDEs) and the detection of dormant supermassive black holes. The grant will fund the university's participation in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey, which aims to build a statistically significant sample of TDE light curves to study the demographics of supermassive black holes at cosmic distances....
- This federal contract award is to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for $595,174.93 to conduct research on tidal disruption events. Tidal disruption events occur when a star is partially or completely disrupted by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole, leading to the transient infall of matter toward the black hole. The research will use magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the early...
- This is a $30,984.59 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research project titled "WE PROPOSE SIMULTANEOUS (NUSTAR+XMM) TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY OBSERVATIONS OF A NEWLY DISCOVERED TIDAL DISRUPTION FLARE (TDF) TO CONSTRAIN ITS SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE'S (SMBH) MASS AND SPIN." The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to support the observation and study of a newly discovered...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $642,219.83 grant is for research on "Tidal Disruption Events from Eccentric Nuclear Disks in Post-Merger Galaxies." The research aims to quantify the dynamics of eccentric nuclear disks around supermassive black holes and the resulting tidal...
- This is a $436,539 grant awarded by NASA to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York for research on the impact of nucleosynthesis on accretion disks, outflows, and observable signatures associated with the merger of binary compact objects and the central engines of gamma-ray bursts and supernovae. The research program will investigate rapid accretion following the tidal disruption of a white dwarf by a neutron star or black hole, as well as the long-term evolution of...
- This federal contract award is for a research grant provided to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $208,090.35 grant is to support research on how the rates and light curves of tidal disruption events, which occur when a supermassive black hole's tidal forces overwhelm and rip apart a nearby star, depend on the black hole's spin as described by Einstein's theory of general relativity. The research...
- This is a $475,668.86 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration. The grant is for research on "Instability, Turbulence, and Enhanced Transport in Collisionless Black-Hole Accretion Flows." The research aims to develop a comprehensive first-principles study of the plasma physics of collisionless accretion flows using both analytic and state-of-the-art numerical models....
- This federal contract award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University, has the goal of developing theoretical models and observational diagnostics to understand the emergence of the first generation of stars and supermassive black holes in the universe, as well as the physical feedback processes that determined their evolution and the early stages of cosmic reionization. The $411,804.76 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space...
- This is a $502,040.17 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Sponsored Projects Administration Division (Columbia University), a private non-profit university, to conduct research on compact supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs). The purpose of the research is to identify a population of SMBHBs in galactic nuclei, which are believed to form frequently in galaxy mergers and are prime...
- This is a $77,190 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to support research related to the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a program focused on observing tidal disruption events (TDEs) - when a star is gravitationally disrupted by a black hole. The grant aims to measure the time delay between the optical and X-ray emissions from TDEs to better understand the physical processes involved. This research is being...
