The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,992.32 grant to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to produce and publicly release light curves for approximately 100,000 known star cluster members brighter than magnitude 16 observed in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images during Cycle 2. This research grant does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on November 1, 2019 with a...
This is a $175,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Research and Project Administration, to produce and publicly release light curve data for all 100,000 known star cluster members brighter than 16th magnitude observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during Cycle 3. The light curves will be generated using image subtraction techniques. This grant does not have...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $70,000 grant to The Trustees of Princeton University for the project "Precise Exoplanet Transits for the Brightest Stars Using TESS 20 Second Cadence Data." The grant, issued on January 2, 2024 under NASA's Shared Services Center with no set-aside designation, will fund research at Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to analyze data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite...
This is a federal grant awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant, valued at $199,996.72, is for the purpose of producing and releasing light curve data for 25 million objects observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its first observational cycle. This data will be made publicly available within one month of each TESS data release, and the University of Chicago will also search the...
This is a $3,289.50 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop an approach to improve the scientific utility of full-frame light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The project aims to leverage data from the Gaia satellite to enable a highly-constrained fit to TESS photometry, producing science-ready light curves for every star brighter than 16th magnitude in the TESS...
This is a $102,941.39 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University to conduct research on exoplanets. The research aims to understand and potentially characterize exoplanets, which encompasses a wide range of fields including astrophysics, heliophysics, and planetary science. The contract was awarded on February 17, 2021 and is set to be completed by December 31, 2022. No set-aside designation was used for this award. Princeton...
This is a $69,979.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to develop a "Flexible Toolkit to Compare Detrending Approaches on Large Samples of TESS Light Curves." This effort supports NASA's science mission by improving the analysis of data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) program, which searches for exoplanets. The grant provides funding for USRA to create software...
This contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is a $70,000 grant for research to Columbia University for the project "Establishing Benchmark Star Clusters with TESS, ZTF, and Spectroscopy." Under the contract, Columbia University will utilize data from the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), and spectroscopy to establish benchmark star clusters, advancing NASA's astrophysics...
This is a $4,200,316.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) General Investigator (GI) Program. The TESS GI Program solicits proposals for the acquisition and analysis of new scientific data from the TESS mission, a NASA Explorer mission launched in 2018. The grant also supports the acquisition and/or analysis of scientific data from ground-based...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC19K1101, was granted by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to conduct research related to the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The contract, valued at $47,628.00, is a grant for research and aims to leverage the long baseline of the Continuous Viewing Zone (CVZ) of the TESS mission to discover over 200 planets. The research will involve analyzing full-frame images, adding...
