- This federal contract award with ID NNX16AJ13G was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, a prestigious private research university. The $99,999.89 grant is for a project titled "Characterizing Small Planets with K2 and HARPS-N" that aims to study the relationship between the masses, radii, insolation, and metallicities of small exoplanets by targeting moderately bright stars...
- This $1,076,775 federal grant award to President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University, funds research to enhance the accuracy and precision of planetary parameters derived from transit photometry data. The research leverages the ExoFastV2 global modeling approach to simultaneously constrain planet eccentricity without the need for radial velocity measurements, addressing biases in prior methods that assumed circular orbits. This work is expected to improve fundamental...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, a private research university, for a research project titled "Characterizing Small K2 Planets with the HARPS-N Spectrograph." The purpose of the project is to study the relationship between the masses, radii, insolation, and metallicities of small exoplanets detected by the Kepler Space Telescope's K2 mission, using high-precision radial...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, operating as Harvard University, a private non-profit educational institution located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The $149,999.85 grant will fund research to observe bright stars in Campaigns 11, 12, and 13 of the K2 space telescope mission, in order to search for planet candidates suitable for follow-up high-precision radial velocity observations. The goal is to...
- This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to support research aimed at reducing the effect of stellar jitter to enable radial velocity (RV) measurements of Earth-like exoplanets. The $558,830.24 grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Harvard's status as a large, established institution. The award is part of a broader program focused on advancing RV measurement...
- This is a $399,997.29 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, operating as Harvard University, a private non-profit educational institution. The grant is for "Discovery and Atmospheric Reconnaissance of the Most Spectroscopically Accessible Temperate Transiting Terrestrial Exoplanets" research. No set-aside designation was used for this award. As a premier research university, Harvard has a long history of...
- This federal contract award, valued at $276,651.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, a prestigious private research university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The award is a grant for research to analyze systematic biases in data as a function of various factors such as topography, season, time of day, and cloud effects. The contract is not set aside and represents one of Harvard's numerous federal...
- This federal contract award, with ID number 80NSSC22K0165, was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University. The $69,999.21 grant is for research related to the study of M dwarf stars, which are the most easily observed exoplanets. This award is not associated with any set-aside program. Harvard University, a prestigious private research institution, is the prime contractor on this grant and will likely...
- This $448,985 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to conduct research on the atmospheric volatile transport and habitability of rocky exoplanets orbiting M-class red dwarf stars. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is part of NASA's broader efforts to understand the climate and potential for life on exoplanets. The research will involve using a 3D general circulation...
- This federal contract award, valued at $174,936.33, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University. The contract is for the development and testing of a High Resolution Energetic X-ray Imager (HREXI) detector and telescope system for a 12U CubeSat, which will be proposed for a test flight. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Harvard's status as a large,...
This federal contract award, valued at $499,939.94, was granted to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct advanced research related to exoplanet detection and characterization. The project aims to refit and update the Kepler and K2 planet catalogs, which currently suffer from biases due to the assumption of circular planetary orbits. The researchers will use the ExoFastV2 global modeling approach to precisely measure planet eccentricities without requiring radial velocity data, yielding more accurate and precise planetary parameters. This work will significantly expand the number of exoplanets with measured eccentricities, providing crucial insights into planet formation and evolution. The contract is not set aside and represents Harvard's extensive expertise in astrophysics, planetary science, and advanced data analysis techniques, which the university regularly applies to support NASA's space exploration and astronomical research priorities.
