- 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 is a $212,081.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a research university in Hawaii. The grant is for designing and building two new triple-channel imaging spectrographs to study the coronal plasma, solar wind, and coronal mass ejections during the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. The data collected will help understand the sun's interactions with Earth and the solar system, addressing NASA's strategic...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $701,901 grant to the University of Hawaii (UH) for a project titled "Exploring Planet Formation on Solar System Scales with Extreme Adaptive Optics". This 3-year grant, which runs from October 2023 to October 2026, will support UH's research in planetary science, specifically related to the formation of planets within our solar system. The University of Hawaii, a public research institution and NASA partner, has...
- This is a $87,360.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona (UA) to perform a laboratory demonstration of combined high-performance coronagraph and wide-field astrometric imaging capabilities. The goal is to augment a high-performance coronagraph, which can detect and characterize exoplanets, with wide-field astrometry to enable measurements of exoplanet masses and orbits. This work will increase the technology readiness level (TRL)...
- This is a $239,450.58 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa, a public land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant university in Hawaii. The grant is for a project titled "Science Goals and Objectives: Total Solar Eclipses Provide Unique Opportunities to Explore the Inner Corona in an Uninterrupted Heliocentric Distance of 1 to 5 Solar Radii (Rs), with an Angular Resolution of 1- 4." The project aims to...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa, part of the University of Hawaii Systems, was awarded a $49,995.30 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "Our Program is the First Near-All-Sky Survey that Systematically Combines Asteroseismology and Transit Photometry to Precisely Characterize Exoplanets Orbiting Evolved Stars." The grant is a research contract with a completion date of January 15, 2024. The University of Hawaii has...
- The University of Hawaii (UH), a public university system and the primary institution of higher education in Hawaii, has been awarded a $70,000.00 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "PRECISE EXOPLANET TRANSITS FOR THE BRIGHTEST STARS USING TESS 20-SECOND CADENCE DATA" with a completion date of December 31, 2025. This grant is not set aside and is part of NASA's ongoing research efforts in the field of exoplanets and planetary...
- This is a $238,922 grant award to the University of Hawaii (UH) from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, for a research project to observe the 2024 total solar eclipse. The goal is to use NASA's WB-57F high-altitude research aircraft to acquire superior quality spectral data and imaging observations of the solar corona over the 270-1100 nanometer wavelength range. This will yield insights into coronal plasma composition, temperatures, and coronal mass ejections. The award...
- This is a $81,330 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a public research university in Hawaii. The grant is for a research project titled "DIRECT DETECTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EXOPLANETS WITH IMAGING FOURIER TRANSFORM SPECTROSCOPY" and is under the supervision of student Jingwen Zhang. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Hawaii at Manoa is the prime recipient of this award,...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC20K0330, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The $2,441,292.00 grant is for the development of "PHOTON COUNTING NIR LMAPD ARRAYS FOR ULTRA-LOW BACKGROUND SPACE OBSERVATIONS," which aligns with NASA's Planetary Science Division. The University of Hawaii has significant expertise in astronomy and space science, as evidenced by its...
This is a $916,540.82 grant awarded to the Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii (RCUH) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on January 1, 2019. The purpose of the grant is to enhance wavefront estimation techniques and integrate them with image post-processing to improve both raw and augmented contrast levels for imaging potentially habitable exoplanets and acquiring spectra of their atmospheres or surfaces. The grant aims to address technology gaps in high-contrast imaging space missions, wavefront control challenges associated with large segmented apertures, and the need for real-time image calibration using stray light information from wavefront sensing. The project will involve numerical development, focused testbed explorations, and integration of approaches on the SCExAO high-contrast testbed/instrument for laboratory and on-sky validation. This grant is not designated as a set-aside contract.
