About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $376,066 grant to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), doing business as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), to study the origins, physical mechanisms, and diversity of supernovae and other explosive transients. The grant will leverage high-cadence light curve data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to probe an early time window that remains mysterious in this field of astrophysics research. AURA, a non-profit organization that manages and operates major astronomical observatories and telescopes on behalf of NASA and the National Science Foundation, will conduct this research project over a period ending on January 20, 2026. This award does not have a set-aside designation.
Description
The origins, physical mechanisms, and diversity of supernovae (SNE) and other explosive transients remain shrouded in mystery. The high-cadence lightcurves of tess with unprecedented precision provides critical early time data, probing a window that
