About this award
Florida Gulf Coast University's Research & Sponsored Programs Division was awarded a $68,534.12 research grant by a civilian federal agency on December 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2024. The grant supports an asteroseismology research project utilizing data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to detect oscillations in M dwarf stars. The project aims to fill a gap in the asteroseismic Hertzsprung-Russell diagram for main-sequence stars by analyzing TESS 20-second cadence photometric data from a large population of M dwarfs. This research builds upon prior successes from space-based missions including the Kepler Space Telescope, which revolutionized the study of stellar oscillations by enabling the determination of fundamental asteroseismic parameters for hundreds of main-sequence stars and thousands of red giants.
The award uses no set-aside designation and is structured as a grant for research with other pricing arrangements. TESS is particularly suited for this investigation due to its unique combination of red-wavelength sensitivity and short observing cadence, which enable the photometric detection of M dwarf oscillations that were previously challenging to observe from ground-based radial-velocity measurements or earlier space missions such as WIRE, MOST, and CoRoT. The performance location for this research is Fort Myers, Florida, leveraging FGCU's established expertise in conducting federally-funded research across multiple scientific disciplines including astronomy and environmental sciences.
Description
Prior to the ERA of regular space-based photometry, oscillations in solar-like STARS were detectable only through heroic radial-velocity efforts from the ground or, in a handful of cases, from earlier space missions such as wire, most, and corot.
