About this award
This is a $350,176.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on tidal dissipation and its impact on the evolution of exoplanets. The grant, identified as contract number 80NSSC21K1045, was awarded on May 7, 2021, and has a performance period ending on May 6, 2024.
The research aims to leverage data from NASA's Kepler, K2, and Tess missions to better understand a crucial yet poorly understood step in exoplanet evolution - the tidal dissipation that shapes short-period planetary orbits. As a leading research institution, Caltech has extensive capabilities in supporting NASA's scientific research objectives through federal grants. This award aligns with NASA's broader efforts to advance our understanding of exoplanetary systems and their formation.
Description
A crucial yet poorly understood step in exoplanet evolution is the tidal dissipation that molds short-period planetary orbits. Fortunately, the NASA missions kepler, K2, and tess are providing a nearly complete census of planetary populations at small orbital separations, along with accurate
