The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $116,011.78 grant for research to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The goal of this project is to expand understanding of how radiation is distributed across different stellar flares by analyzing simultaneous data from the GALEX and Kepler space telescopes. This will significantly increase the number of multi-wavelength stellar flare observations available for studying the power-law distribution of flare occurrence rates and flare heating models. AURA will conduct this research as the prime contractor, leveraging its expertise in operating space telescopes and conducting astrophysics investigations supported by NASA and other federal agencies. This award does not utilize a set-aside designation.
