- 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 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, for a research project titled "Strongly Magnetized Accretion Disks in Active Galactic Nuclei." The award, valued at $651,721.41, will fund an analytical and computational study to investigate the physical properties of strongly magnetized accretion disks around supermassive black holes and their role in fueling...
- This federal contract award is a grant for $370,380 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to conduct research on tidal disruption events (TDEs) involving stars and supermassive black holes. The research will investigate how the dynamics of TDEs change in relativistic spacetime using hydrodynamic simulations coupled with relativistic tidal tensor calculations in Schwarzschild and Kerr...
- 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 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...
- Eureka Scientific, Inc., doing business as Eureka Scientific, has been awarded a $42,000 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to monitor the nearest tidal disruption event candidate IGR J12580+0134. The one-year contract, running from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025, will support NASA's efforts to gather data on tidal disruption events, which occur when stars are ripped apart by the gravitational forces of supermassive black holes. No...
- This is a $463,697.00 grant awarded to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, by the NASA Shared Services Center. The contract is for fundamental research on accretion physics from black hole images and movies, with a period of performance through May 31, 2025. No set-aside designation was used. The University of Colorado is a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning that conducts...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $760,938.25 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, for research titled "Ion Tori Around Accreting Black Holes: A Kinetic Approach". This research grant has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2024 and was awarded on January 23, 2020 without any set-aside designation. The University of Colorado is a prominent public research university with a strong...
- This is a $168,263 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct research on the growth of supermassive black holes and their connection to the evolution of their host galaxies. The research aims to provide a fundamental understanding of how and when supermassive black holes build up their mass. CU, a U.S. state government institution of higher learning, will leverage its expertise in physics, astronomy, and materials science to investigate the triggering of active galactic...
- This is a $440,454.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant supports a two-year project with the following objectives: 1) Building a publicly available catalog of physical properties for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) detected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and their host galaxies, and 2) Analyzing the co-evolution of...
