The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $187,523 grant to White Dwarf Research Corporation, a nonprofit organization, to establish a new tool to determine reliable ages for older stars and their planetary systems. The work will address limitations in current rotation-based methods for dating older stars. This grant-funded research, which spans from 2020 to 2025, aims to advance the understanding of stellar evolution and improve the ability to...
White Dwarf Research Corporation has been awarded a prime contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct research furthering the understanding of stellar evolution and planetary system formation. The contract, valued at $297,014, aims to develop reliable methods for determining precise stellar ages and masses through establishing tools to date older stars where rotation-based techniques begin to fail. No set-aside designation was utilized...
This is a $476,501 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) for a research program focusing on probing the interior composition of white dwarf stars. The research will leverage precision pulsation data from NASA's Kepler and TESS missions, along with stellar evolution models and machine learning techniques, to provide new constraints on the nuclear reaction rates and interior structure of white dwarfs. This grant does not have...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 grant to Cornell University to conduct research on compact white dwarf (WD) binary systems with orbital periods ranging from minutes to hours. This research aims to support a range of astrophysical problems, including the study of optical transients such as Type Ia supernovae. The grant is a contract for research, with a completion date of August 31, 2022. No set-aside designation was used for this award. Cornell...
This is a $90,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) for research related to M-dwarf stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The award has an ultimate completion date of August 26, 2023. ASU is the prime contractor, and there is no set-aside designation. The award provides funding for ASU to conduct research on the characteristics of M-dwarf stars, which make up about 70% of the stars in the Milky Way. This research aligns with...
This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts.
