AGN Feedback and Radio Jet Driven Outflows in 3C 305

FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-07

Summary
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.

Class Grant and Contribution Program to Support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology
Program Name (French)
Programme global de subventions et contributions à l'appui de la recherche, de la sensibilisation et de l'éducation en sciences et technologies spatiales
Program Purpose
This program supports knowledge development and innovation in the CSA's priority areas while increasing the awareness and participation of Canadians in space-related disciplines and activities. The Research Component aims to support the development of science and technology; foster the continual development of a critical mass of researchers and highly qualified people in Canada; and support information gathering and space-related studies and research pertaining to Canadian Space Agency priorities.
Program Purpose (French)
Ce programme appuie le développement des connaissances et l'innovation dans des domaines prioritaires de l'ASC et accroît la sensibilisation et la participation des Canadiens aux disciplines et aux activités liées à l'espace. Le volet Recherche vise à soutenir le développement des sciences et des technologies, à favoriser le développement continu d'une masse critique de chercheurs et de personnes hautement qualifiées au Canada, et à appuyer la collecte d'information, la recherche et les études relatives à l'espace en tenant compte des priorités de l'ASC.

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.
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 fournit un financement à l'université par le biais d'un accord de subvention afin de mener des recherches à l'aide du JWST. On sait que des trous noirs supermassifs existent au centre des galaxies, ces trous noirs peuvent créer des vents et des courants sortants appelés jets dans leurs environnements. Ce projet étudiera la galaxie active 3C305 et déterminera si la formation d'étoiles dans la galaxie est associée au jet provenant du trou noir supermassif au centre de la galaxie. Si tel est le cas, les détails de la façon dont le jet interagit avec le gaz et déclenche la formation d’étoiles seront étudiés.
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.
