This is a four-year, $2,749,735.61 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectrophotometry investigation of nearby B-stars. The research aims to provide insights into the reionization of the early universe by making critical observations in the 700-900 Angstrom waveband, which has never been observed for B-stars. The project will develop a sounding rocket payload called DEUCE...
This award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) is a $34,768.52 grant for research on exoplanet atmospheres and their ability to support life, based on the stellar radiation environment and its variability. The research will leverage the UVOT UV grism on the University's instruments to conduct spectroscopy of stellar flares. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on May...
This award to the Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants, is a $131,018.45 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The purpose is to support, calibrate, and launch DEUCE, the Dual-Channel Extreme Ultraviolet Continuum Experiment, a sounding rocket-based instrument that will obtain the first flux-calibrated spectra of two nearby B stars in the Lyman continuum and...
This is a $1,671,831.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to support a two-year suborbital-class research program for the Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE), a NASA-funded 6U CubeSat mission to study atmospheric composition and escape on exoplanets. The University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $379,143 grant to the University of Colorado, a public research university, for the "STELLAR X-RAY AND ULTRAVIOLET CHARACTERIZATION OF THE HABITABLE WORLDS OBSERVATORY HABITABLE PLANET TARGET SAMPLE" project. This grant will fund research to support NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory, a program focused on identifying and studying potentially habitable exoplanets. The University of Colorado will perform X-ray and...
This is a $3,127,861.77 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for a four-year suborbital research program. The program aims to continue the university's efforts in developing and flight testing instrument designs and critical path technologies for ultraviolet spectroscopy to support future NASA Explorer, Probe, and Flagship-class missions. The program will optimize the university's high-resolution echelle spectrograph payload (CHESS) and design, calibrate, and launch a new...
This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is a $596,836.50 grant for research on the magnetic behavior and dynamo processes of M-type stars. The research aims to understand how these stars, which are becoming primary targets in the search for Earth-like exoplanets, can exhibit intense magnetic activity and flaring despite their modest luminosities. The award is funded by the...
The Regents of the University of Colorado was awarded a $361,599.67 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop advanced ultraviolet spectrograph designs for future space astronomy missions. The goal is to create holographically corrected echelle grating designs that can provide enhanced sensitivity, resolution, and multi-object capabilities compared to current state-of-the-art instruments. This work will support the design of ultraviolet spectrographs...
This is a $563,540 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado to conduct research on high-time resolution physics of stellar flares over a 7-day multi-wavelength observation campaign on the star AU Mic. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Colorado, a U.S. state government institution of higher learning, will perform the research as the prime contractor. This award is not associated with a larger contract vehicle. The research aims to expand scientific...
This is a $1,292,157.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to develop and flight-qualify the instrument designs and components required to support NASA's ambitious space instrumentation objectives over the next decade. The five-year suborbital research program will utilize the University's expertise in physics, materials science, and aerospace engineering to...
