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...
This is a $485,457 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to conduct research on the relationship between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and galaxy mergers. The grant, which has no set-aside designation, will fund the development of a catalog that examines how star formation and AGN activity are influenced by galaxy mergers. As a public research university, the University of Colorado has an established track record of supporting NASA...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $796,669.00 grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for a research project titled "FEAST, FAMINE, OR STARS GRAVITATIONAL INSTABILITY IN AGN DISKS." The grant is for fundamental research in astrophysics and will explore gravitational instability in the accretion disks of active galactic nuclei. The University of...
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 $402,748.61 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for research on the radiative signatures of magnetic reconnection in X-ray binary systems containing accreting black holes. The research aims to use numerical simulations to better understand the physical conditions and particle acceleration processes that produce the observed non-thermal X-ray spectra in different accretion states of these systems. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading public...
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 $310,260 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Eureka Scientific, Inc., a small disadvantaged business in California. The grant is for a study of the high energy X-ray spectra emitted from active galactic nuclei (AGN) surrounding supermassive black holes, to better understand the impacts of general relativistic strong-field gravity. The work aligns with NASA's strategic goals in astrophysics and gravitational physics research. Eureka...
