Although the flare rates of STARS have been well-studied as a function of spectral type, they are much more poorly understood as a function of stellar age.

About this award
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $61,702.52 research grant from a civilian federal agency to study stellar flare rates as a function of stellar age. The research leverages a sample of 400 wide white-dwarf main-sequence binary star systems to extend flare-activity-age relations for low-mass stars, utilizing high-fidelity ages (10-30% precision) derived from white dwarf companion measurements. This study represents the first precision examination of flare rate evolution in old stars beyond 1 billion years, providing critical data on how stellar activity impacts exoplanet habitability. The contract was awarded on November 30, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of November 28, 2024, and was performed at the University of Hawaii at Manoa's location in Honolulu, Hawaii.
This grant was awarded with no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive research capabilities. The University of Hawaii at Manoa serves as the prime contractor and is a child entity of the University of Hawaii Systems. The university has established itself as a significant federal research partner, with extensive experience managing NASA-funded astronomical research projects, including its prominent role managing the Infrared Telescope Facility. The research aligns with the broader scientific objectives of federal agencies supporting fundamental astrophysics and planetary science investigations that advance understanding of stellar behavior and its implications for detecting and characterizing habitable exoplanets.
