- This is a $149,954.24 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The grant is for a large K2 program to monitor approximately 10,000 bright galaxies per campaign over three campaigns, with the goal of identifying at least 15 supernovae light curves. The research under this grant builds on...
- This contract is a $618,720 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc., a private non-profit organization. The grant funds the operation and enhancement of the Las Cumbres Observatory network, a distributed system of 25 telescopes at 7 sites worldwide. This network is being used to conduct follow-up observations and characterization of near-Earth objects (NEOs), including asteroids, comets,...
- This is a $110,656.93 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, to conduct a comprehensive study on the interaction of core collapse supernovae (CCSNE) with their dense circumstellar medium (CSM). The study will focus on the processes that destroy and reform dust in the CSM environment, and the manifestations of these processes in the supernova light...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant supports a study on the impact of supernovae on their host galaxies, which aligns with NASA's Astrophysics Research Program objectives to explore the universe and the origin, evolution, and structure of the galaxy. The award will also...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AC97G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc., a private non-profit organization, to conduct research related to the detection and characterization of exoplanets beyond the "snow line" of planetary systems. The $480,898.50 grant is part of NASA's "Discovering and Understanding Exoplanets Beyond the Snowline" program, which aims to explore the colder...
- This is a $76,681 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research on superluminous supernovae (SLSN). SLSN are a rare class of stellar explosions believed to be powered by a highly-magnetized neutron star, known as a central engine, which pumps heat into the ejected material and generates bright optical emissions. The grant was awarded on October 1, 2021 and has a period of performance through September...
- This is a grant award to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, valued at $149,860.19, to support the K2 Supernova Cosmology Experiment. The grant will fund UCSC's efforts to follow all supernova candidates from four different telescopes, allowing for improved observational cadence and weather mitigation compared to single-site observations. The goals of the project are to provide the best distances to...
- This is a $282,978.94 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate the cosmological and theoretical implications of the Swift space telescope's discovery of bimodality in the ultraviolet-optical colors of normal Type Ia supernovae. The research aims to dramatically increase the sample of supernovae observed by the Swift ultraviolet/optical telescope (UVOT) and analyze the...
- This is a $79,993.45 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University, to conduct research on "superluminous supernovae" - stellar explosions with peak luminosities too high to be powered by traditional energy sources. The research aims to investigate the possible role of a millisecond magnetar engine in powering these events. The award is not associated with a...
- This is a $202,657.30 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for research related to understanding the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae and potential biases on the Hubble constant and dark energy equation of state. The grant will make data more useful and accessible to the time domain community. UCSC is a public research university that frequently collaborates with federal agencies on a wide range of...
