About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $193,601.28 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to investigate planetary systems orbiting cool dwarfs using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The grant is expected to lead to the detection of roughly 90 Earth-sized planets, 360 super-Earths, and 1,460 sub-Neptunes around nearly 1 million cool dwarf stars surveyed by TESS. This research is intended to provide new insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems. The award is not associated with a set-aside designation and is administered through the NASA Shared Services Center, with the State of California Controllers Office serving as the parent organization for UC Berkeley.
Description
We propose to use tess data to investigate planetary systems orbiting cool dwarfs spanning a range of masses, metallicities, and ages. Tess will survey 13 times more cool dwarfs than kepler and K2 combined, thereby enabling sophisticated analyses of how the prevalence and properties of planets depend on host star characteristics. Using our planet detection pipeline, we expect to detect roughly 90 earth-sized planets, 360 super-earths, and 1460 sub-neptunes in the full-frame images of nearly 1 million cool dwarfs. Many of these worlds will be individually interesting as targets for future mass measurement or atmospheric characterization, and planet occurrence calculations using the full planet sample will reveal new insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems.
