About this award
This is a $557,392.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for the Keck Planet Finder Stellar Obliquity Survey. The goal of this research project is to significantly advance the understanding of the origin of misaligned planetary orbits and their implications for planet formation and evolution. The survey will provide high signal-to-noise ratio and optical transmission spectra of selected James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) targets, providing a panoramic view of the most observationally amenable exoplanets from the optical to the mid-infrared. This grant is not set aside for any specific business category, reflecting Caltech's competitive capabilities in advanced astrophysics and exoplanet research. Caltech is a renowned private research university with a robust track record of supporting NASA and other federal agencies through cutting-edge scientific research and technological innovation.
