About this award
This is a $69,997 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research project titled "Disintegrating Rocky Bodies Transiting White Dwarfs: The Key to Understanding Exoplanet Compositions". The grant has a period of performance ending on March 8, 2024 and does not have a set-aside designation. MIT, a private research university, will perform the work in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This grant supports fundamental research to better understand the composition of exoplanets, which are planets outside our solar system, by studying how rocky bodies disintegrate as they transit or pass in front of white dwarf stars. The findings could provide insights into the formation and evolution of exoplanets and their potential for habitability.
