Grants and Contributions:

Title:

A Galaxy-Scale Fountain of Multiphase Gas Pumped by a Black Hole. The power of JWST combined with ALMA, MUSE, Chandra and HST

Agreement Number:

23JWGO2B09

Agreement Value:

$33,000.00

Agreement Date:

Feb 29, 2024 - Dec 31, 2025

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. The amount of cooler gas in the center of galaxy clusters is about 10 percent of the amount expected from simple cooling. The central radio source associated with the bright central galaxy has been identified as the origin of the heating. This project uses JWST observations combined with previous multi-observatory, multiwavelength observations to investigate how the central radio source is able to re-heat the gas called the intracluster medium, or ICM.

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.
