About this award
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $159,988.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop and run a complete, end-to-end photometry pipeline for processing data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images (FFIs). This will enable a wide range of scientific investigations in stellar astrophysics and exoplanet science by providing analysis-ready light curves for all FFI sources. The project leverages powerful computing resources and software developed through the TESS Asteroseismic Science Consortium. No set-aside designation is specified for this award. The University of Hawaii Systems, the parent organization of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, has also received multiple federal research grants and contracts, including subawards to support research and services in areas such as disaster resilience, literacy programs, and numerical simulations.
Description
By covering a solid angle nearly 400 times larger than a single kepler/K2 field, photometry from tess full frame images (ffis) is expected to revolutionize time-domain astronomy over the coming years. However, light curves from ffis will not be a standard tess data product, and hence the success of science from ffis relies on efforts by the community. Here we propose to develop and run a complete, end-to-end photometry pipeline for tess FFI data, producing analysis-ready light curves for all FFI sources. Using powerful computing resources and software developed through community workshops within the tess asteroseismic science consortium, the light curves produced in this program will enable a vast array of science investigations across stellar astrophysics and exoplanet science.
