About this award
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) was awarded a $67,343.71 research grant (21-TESS21-0023) by the Shared Services Center to conduct a study titled "Search for Variable AGN in Green Pea Galaxies Using TESS." The award, issued on November 1, 2022, with a completion date of October 31, 2024, supports astronomical research leveraging data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This grant represents a civilian federal research investment in astrophysics, with work to be performed at RIT's Rochester, New York campus. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
The project focuses on identifying and characterizing active galactic nuclei (AGN) variability within green pea galaxies—a rare class of compact, star-forming galaxies—using TESS observational data. RIT's capabilities in imaging science and space-related research position the institution well to contribute to this fundamental astrophysics investigation. As a private research university with extensive federal contracting experience across NASA, the National Science Foundation, and other agencies, RIT brings established expertise in space technology and scientific instrumentation to support this research initiative.
