About this award
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC21K0354, was granted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by the Shared Services Center (Agency ID 8000|8000|80NSSC-A), a civilian federal agency. The $49,980.98 award is for a grant-funded research project to study the light curve data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which captures the entire orbital phase of exoplanets, including transits, eclipses, and atmospheric processes. This research does not have a set-aside designation. MIT, a private non-profit research university, frequently collaborates with various federal agencies on advanced scientific research and development projects, often in emerging technology areas like space exploration, materials science, and quantum computing.
Description
Tess light curves show the entire orbital phase curve, including the transit, 2ND eclipse, and sinusoidal phase modulations. Those modulations are shaped by the star-planet gravitational interaction and by atmospheric processes in the planet S atmosp
