About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $29,000.00 grant to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) to conduct research on measuring the masses of red giant stars using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and Kepler space telescopes. AURA is a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes on behalf of the federal government. This grant is funding research that leverages TESS and Kepler photometry to more accurately determine the masses of red giant stars, which has historically been a challenging measurement. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and is set to be completed by April 27, 2025.
Description
Mass is a fundamental property of STARS and is notoriously difficult to measure for red giant (RG) STARS. The photometry provided by tess and kepler has proven to be a vital resource for measuring accurate RG masses thanks to the scaling relations
