About this award
The Ohio State University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $70,000 research grant awarded on October 5, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of January 4, 2025. This civilian-funded research initiative focuses on analyzing TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) short-cadence light curves to develop an accurate empirical mass-radius-composition-temperature relationship for M-dwarf stars. The project aims to produce the most comprehensive and well-characterized sample of M-dwarfs available, thereby significantly refining understanding of stellar properties across mass, radius, metallicity, and temperature parameters. The award carries no set-aside designation and was funded through a civilian federal agency.
As a child contract under Ohio State University's parent entity, this grant leverages the institution's extensive research capabilities in astrophysics and astronomical data analysis. Ohio State University, a premier land-grant research institution, maintains a robust portfolio of federal research awards across multiple scientific domains, including similar observational and computational astronomy projects. This M-dwarf characterization study contributes to broader scientific objectives in exoplanet discovery and stellar classification, supporting the foundational astronomical research that informs NASA's planetary science missions and related civilian space agency initiatives.
Description
With tess short-cadence lightcurves and funded analysis, we will produce the most comprehensive and wellcharacterised sample of m-dwarfs known, and significantly refine the mass-radius-metallicity-temperature relation.
