- This is a $685,234.16 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on March 1, 2018. The grant is focused on developing and optimizing a new type of superconducting X-ray detector known as a Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detector (TKID). The objective is to improve the energy resolution of these detectors to below 5 eV at 6 keV and integrate them into a 1,000 pixel array. The research also aims to...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is for a research grant valued at $70,000.00. The grant was awarded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, to conduct efficient and uniform searches for close stellar and substellar companions, recover/constrain the culprits of astrometric accelerations of targets, and obtain new relative astrometry of known binaries to sample their orbits. UCSB, a Hispanic-Serving Institution and 1862 Land Grant...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on the South American Low-Level Jet (SALLJ) and its impact on precipitation. The contract is a grant for research, with no set-aside designation, and the ultimate completion date is October 3, 2026. UCSB, operating through its Office of Research, is a public research university with expertise in areas...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for a research project titled "Probing the Dynamics and Metal Content of Galactic Winds through Absorption and Emission Lines".
