The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $596,487 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded February 26, 2019, with an ultimate completion date of February 25, 2025. This grant supports a comprehensive asteroseismology research initiative leveraging data from the Kepler and K2 space missions to advance stellar astrophysics and exoplanet science. The project addresses critical gaps in existing asteroseismic datasets by conducting homogeneous analysis of reprocessed Kepler short-cadence observations and applying novel stellar granulation diagnostics to characterize high-luminosity giant stars. The research combines frequency-autocorrelation methods with ground-based spectroscopy and adaptive optics imaging to compile a legacy catalog of asteroseismic observables and fundamental stellar parameters, while simultaneously expanding the reach of galactic population studies through application of new analysis techniques to approximately 12,500 high-luminosity giants observable by K2 and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This research directly supports NASA's planetary science and astrophysics missions by providing improved stellar characterization benchmarks essential for understanding exoplanet composition, stellar evolution, and galactic structure. The improved classification of Kepler and K2 targets enabled by Gaia parallax data significantly enhances the scientific value of existing space mission datasets. The award carries no set-aside designation and is structured as a standard research grant to the University of Hawaii Systems parent organization, reflecting the institution's established expertise and competitive qualifications in astronomical research and space mission science.
