This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0112, was granted to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), doing business as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), a non-profit organization. The $124,371.81 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for a proposed large K2 program to monitor galaxies, with supplementary ground-based resources to discover, follow-up, and analyze any supernovae (SNe) imaged by K2 in Campaigns 17, 18, and 19. AURA has a history of successfully identifying SNe through previous Kepler GO programs, including 3 Type Ia, 2 Type IIP, and 1 Type IIn/Ia-CSM SNe, as well as galaxies exhibiting active galactic nuclei activity. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading organization in space telescope operations and astrophysics research, AURA frequently collaborates with universities and research institutions on NASA's space-based astronomy programs.
