- This is a $100,474.03 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant is part of NASA's Astrophysical Research Program and will directly benefit the agency's Exoplanet Exploration Program, which focuses on discovering and characterizing exoplanets. The contract has no set-aside designation and is for the purpose of conducting research. UC...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $109,079.46 grant supports the extended Kepler K2 Mission, which aims to discover a new population of rocky and potentially habitable exoplanets orbiting nearby M dwarf stars. UC Berkeley will analyze observations from Kepler K2 Campaigns 17-19 to detect and validate...
- This is a $38,000.00 grant awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), for research related to the discovery of multiplanet systems from the Kepler mission. The grant will fund obtaining 20 second cadence observations of 915 relatively bright stars to enrich the sample of multiplanet systems. This award is not set aside for any special categories of businesses. UC Berkeley, a public research university,...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, a private research university, for a research project titled "Characterizing Small K2 Planets with the HARPS-N Spectrograph." The purpose of the project is to study the relationship between the masses, radii, insolation, and metallicities of small exoplanets detected by the Kepler Space Telescope's K2 mission, using high-precision radial...
- This is a $3,264,796.24 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for a research project titled "Exoplanets Unveiled: Formation, Evolution and Prospects for Life". The project aims to study the properties of exoplanetary systems, their formation and evolution, as well as their potential to support life and motivate search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) programs. The research leverages advanced methods in planet detection, including 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 research grant was awarded to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) by a civilian federal agency to support scientific analysis of exoplanet data from the Kepler Mission. The project, with a ceiling value of $425,813, runs through December 31, 2024, and aims to construct a high-precision sample of 2,600 Kepler planets by supplementing existing Kepler datasets with spectroscopy and imaging data from the Keck Observatory. The research will examine the formation and erosion of small...
- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $360,676.72 grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on exoplanet characterization. The research aims to use the SCExAO and CHARIS instruments on the Subaru Telescope to survey for new exoplanets around nearby young stars, obtain and characterize spectra of both newly discovered and known exoplanets, and use the spectra to infer the planets' properties and connect them to theories of giant...
- This $395,836.39 federal grant award to the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) is for a research project to measure the masses of exoplanets discovered by the K2 mission. The goal is to determine the conditions under which planets retain or lose their primordial gas envelopes, shedding light on the formation and evolution of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. The research will utilize the HARPS-N high-precision radial velocity spectrograph to measure the masses of at least 10...
