The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a grant for $143,198.00 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill) to conduct research on young exoplanetary systems. The research aims to study how planetary properties evolve over time by observing nearby young star clusters and star-forming regions using data from NASA's Kepler mission (K2). Specifically, UNC Chapel Hill will analyze Spitzer observations of two young exoplanets, K2-33b and K2-25b, in...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $234,857 grant to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, to analyze publicly available photometry data from the K2 mission for eclipsing binary stars in the open star cluster Ruprecht 147. The goal is to derive highly accurate measurements of the masses, radii, and temperatures of the binary components, which will allow for rigorous testing of stellar evolution models and...
This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to conduct research on searching for young, newly formed planets in open stellar clusters using high-precision photometry data from the K2 mission. The research is part of NASA's PICK2 program to understand the early dynamical evolution of planetary systems. UT Austin is the prime grantee and will perform this work without any set-aside designation. The...
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) has been awarded a $454,157 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the demographics of young planets using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This grant, awarded on January 1, 2025, has a period of performance through December 31, 2027. The contract is a federal grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UNC-CH, a major public research university...
This is a $100,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) for the "The Masses and Prevalence of Small Planets with K2 - Cycle 3" research project. The grant supports UH's work to search for and characterize transiting exoplanets using data from NASA's K2 mission. The project aims to construct catalogs of transiting planets around FGK dwarf stars, discover small planets suitable for high-precision radial...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, operating as Harvard University, a private non-profit educational institution located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The $149,999.85 grant will fund research to observe bright stars in Campaigns 11, 12, and 13 of the K2 space telescope mission, in order to search for planet candidates suitable for follow-up high-precision radial velocity observations. The goal is to...
This is a $75,354.08 grant award from NASA to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for the K2 M Dwarf Program (K2-MDP) to monitor nearby M dwarf stars for transiting exoplanets in Fields 8 and 10 of the K2 mission. The program aims to dramatically increase the number of known M dwarf planetary systems, identify new potentially habitable exoplanets, and characterize the physical properties of these systems in support of future James Webb Space Telescope observations. UCSC, a...
This is a $99,905.80 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for the "K2 M Dwarf Program: Fields 6 and 7" research project. The grant supports target selection and characterization efforts, leveraging data from the Superblink proper motion database and the Pan-STARRS1 survey to identify and study low-mass (M dwarf) stars. The research aims to build on UCSC's previous successful proposals for the K2 mission's observational...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,992.32 grant to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to produce and publicly release light curves for approximately 100,000 known star cluster members brighter than magnitude 16 observed in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images during Cycle 2. This research grant does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on November 1, 2019 with a...
This $99,999.98 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to New York University (NYU) to conduct research on ultra-precise photometry in crowded fields using a self-calibration approach. The research aims to develop a generative model for the K2 Campaign 9 (K2C9) observations, which will contain a crowded field of stars, in order to deliver extremely precise light curves for the discovery of small microlensing events and other transients....
