About this award
This is a $492,938.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant, which has a performance period ending on September 30, 2025, will fund research to investigate how high activity levels of comets affect the structure and dynamics of their surrounding comas (the cloud of gas and dust surrounding the comet's nucleus). The research will look for correlations between the jet properties and the comet's production rates. This grant is not a set-aside contract. Lowell Observatory has a history of executing federal contracts and grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation to conduct astronomical research related to solar system objects, exoplanets, and stellar astrophysics, leveraging its specialized facilities like the 4.3-meter Discovery Channel Telescope.
