About this award
This federal contract award was made by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university. The contract, valued at $49,951.86, is a grant to support research related to the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The research aims to analyze light curve data from TESS, which provides information on the entire orbital phase of exoplanets, including transits, secondary eclipses, and atmospheric processes. This contract does not have a set-aside designation and is part of NASA's broader efforts to advance the scientific understanding of exoplanets and their host stars through collaborations with academic institutions like MIT.
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 atmospheric processes in the planets atmosphere
