About this award
The University of Hawaii at Manoa, a comprehensive public research university and federal research partner, received a research grant valued at $69,190.63 from a civilian federal agency to support asteroseismology research on solar analogs—stars with temperature, radius, and metallicity characteristics similar to the Sun. This research addresses critical gaps in stellar astrophysics and exoplanet science by utilizing asteroseismology as a tool to determine fundamental stellar properties such as mass and age. The award was made on January 1, 2022, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2024, and carries no set-aside designation. Work will be performed at the university's Honolulu, Hawaii campus.
This grant award reflects the University of Hawaii at Manoa's established expertise in astronomical and space science research, complementing the institution's broader portfolio of federally-funded investigations spanning planetary science, oceanography, and environmental studies. The university, as a child entity of the University of Hawaii Systems, serves as a critical research infrastructure partner for multiple federal agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with specialized capabilities in managing advanced observatories and conducting fundamental scientific investigations relevant to space exploration and discovery initiatives.
