About this award

This is a $688,325 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on how stellar multiplicity, or the presence of multiple stars in a system, can influence planet formation processes. The award is not associated with a set-aside contract and the work is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2026. As a leading research university with extensive experience supporting NASA and Department of Defense contracts, Caltech has received over $500 million in prime federal awards over the past 5 years for a range of scientific research, engineering, and technical services, including work on the ROSALIND FRANKLIN Mars rover mission, greenhouse gas research, and advanced propulsion technologies.

Description

Stellar multiplicity should have a dynamical influence on planet formation processes, including perturbing and truncating protoplanetary disks, gravitationally exciting planetesimals causing collisional destruction, and causing dynamical interactions
