$10,000.00

Resolving the Cooling Flow at the Center of the Phoenix Cluster with MIRI

FY 2021-22 · 2022-03-11

Summary
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST. The project will observe cooling gas in the Phoenix Cluster of galaxies as it forms stars in the central galaxy and finds its way into the nucleus to feed the black hole. Researchers will examine the dynamics of the cold gas observed with JWST and hot, X-ray emitting gas to understand how the feedback cycle maintains itself.

Description (French)
À la suite de l'avis d'offre de participation au JWST ERS et au cycle 1 GO publié le 14 juin 2021, l'ASC accorde un financement à l'université par le biais d'un accord de subvention afin de mener des recherches à l'aide du JWST. Le projet permettra d'observer le gaz qui se refroidit dans l'amas de galaxies Phoenix alors qu'il forme des étoiles dans la galaxie centrale et se fraie un chemin jusqu'au noyau pour alimenter le trou noir. Les chercheurs examineront la dynamique du gaz froid observé avec le JWST et du gaz chaud émettant des rayons X pour comprendre comment le cycle de rétroaction se maintient.
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.
Expected Results (French)
Le volet Recherche du programme offre aux organisations une aide financière qui leur permettra de mener leurs activités de recherche et développement spatiales dans des secteurs prioritaires. Ce volet appuiera le développement des connaissances et l’innovation dans les domaines ciblés de manière à soutenir et à accroître la capacité du Canada d’utiliser l’espace pour répondre aux besoins et aux priorités du pays dans le futur.
