Title:
AGN Feedback and Radio Jet Driven Outflows in 3C 305
Agreement Number:
23JWGO2B10
Agreement Value:
$33,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 7, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.
It is known that supermassive black holes exist in the centers of galaxies, these black holes can create winds and outflows called jets in their environments. This project will study the active galaxy 3C305 and determine if star formation in the galaxy is associated with the jet from the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. If so, the details of how the jet interacts with gas and triggers star formation will be studied.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
