About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $187,523 grant to White Dwarf Research Corporation, a nonprofit organization, to establish a new tool to determine reliable ages for older stars and their planetary systems. The work will address limitations in current rotation-based methods for dating older stars. This grant-funded research, which spans from 2020 to 2025, aims to advance the understanding of stellar evolution and improve the ability to model the ages of stars and their associated planetary systems. White Dwarf Research Corporation has also received additional NASA and National Science Foundation grants totaling over $570,000 to study stellar magnetism and obtain precise stellar age measurements.
