- This is a $573,589 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant will fund a research project titled "TURN DOWN THE NOISE! DISENTANGLING PLANETARY AND STELLAR SIGNALS BY OBSERVING THE SUN WITH EXPRES" to use the Extreme Precision Spectrograph (EXPRES) on the 4.3-meter Lowell Discovery Telescope to study the impact of stellar activity on radial velocity...
- This is a $14,173.35 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Lowell Observatory, a non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant supports Lowell Observatory's execution of a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant focuses on scientific research related to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, with the goal of advancing...
- This is a $818,989.00 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant is to support a three-year stellar-occultation program with the following objectives: (i) observe occultations by Pluto to understand its changing atmosphere, (ii) observe occultations by Kuiper Belt Objects to compute their radii and albedos and probe for atmospheres, satellites, and potential ring systems, and (iii)...
- This is a $154,704 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Lowell Observatory, a non-profit research institution in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant is for the development of a "Unified Toolkit" to assist astronomical observatories in converting photographic plates into calibrated digital data sets that will be widely accessible. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Lowell Observatory has a history of serving as a...
- This is a $885,348.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Lowell Observatory, a private, non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant, titled "PLUTO'S SECRET SAUCE: DO SUBSURFACE VOLATILE FLUIDS SHAPE ITS GEOLOGY?", is for research related to the dwarf planet Pluto. As a prime grantee, Lowell Observatory has extensive experience conducting astronomical research under federal contracts and...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $410,689 grant supports an unprecedented infrared spectroscopic survey for substellar objects around young stars, utilizing the IGRINS spectrograph on Lowell's 4.3-meter Discovery Channel Telescope. The goal is to advance understanding of planetary formation, migration, and evolution processes by identifying and studying young exoplanets. This research directly aligns with NASA strategic objectives related to ascertaining the origin and evolution of the solar system and broader efforts to understand how the universe began and evolved. There is no set-aside designation for this grant, which has an ultimate completion date of May 26, 2023.
