- This is a $75,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project aimed at probing the structure of planetary systems and its dependency on the host star mass. The goal is to continue the characterization of Kepler planet host stars, extending it to lower-mass systems, to explore different irradiation environments and address the radius-flux distribution of planets as a function of stellar...
- This $100,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to search for transiting planets orbiting FGK dwarf stars in the K2 fields. The project has two objectives: 1) to measure variations in the occurrence rate of planets as a function of sky position, sampling different star formation environments and stellar densities, and 2) to discover small planets suitable for high-precision Doppler spectroscopy to...
- This is a $247,652 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support collaborative research and development activities related to the K2 mission, which is a follow-up program to the Kepler mission focused on measuring precise planet masses and characterizing planet host stars. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, a private research university, is the prime contractor and is leveraging...
- This is a $473,985.71 grant awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to collect and organize data from NASA's major observatories and survey missions on young stars and star-forming regions. The award is part of NASA's Star and Planet Formation Science program and will involve aggregating relevant photometric and spectroscopic data to serve it in a searchable format. Caltech is a private research university with extensive experience supporting NASA and Department of...
- This is a $632,889.89 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to study the occurrence rate of extrasolar planets. The research aims to extend previous findings from the Kepler mission by using data from the K2 mission to estimate the frequency of planets orbiting low-mass stars. The proposed work includes generating a catalog of planet candidates, measuring the completeness and reliability of the catalog,...
- This is a $425,562.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project titled "Laying the Foundation for a Comprehensive View of Transiting Exoplanets with the Galactic Bulge Survey". The award does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, a private research university focused on science and engineering, will perform the research work under this grant, which aims to expand the...
- This is a $83,626.14 grant for research awarded to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the contract ID 80NSSC22K0967. The grant is for a research project titled "TIDAL DISRUPTION EVENTS IN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI" with a period of performance from April 21, 2022 to February 7, 2024. Caltech is a private research university focused on science and engineering, and has received over $500 million in prime federal...
- This is a $350,176.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on tidal dissipation and its impact on the evolution of exoplanets. The grant, identified as contract number 80NSSC21K1045, was awarded on May 7, 2021, and has a performance period ending on May 6, 2024. The research aims to leverage data from NASA's Kepler, K2, and Tess missions to better understand a crucial yet poorly...
- This is a $215,111.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university in Pasadena, California. The grant is for a project titled "MAPPING THE GALAXY COLOR-SFR RELATION WITH SPITZER AND HERSCHEL STACKS" and has a period of performance through June 30, 2026. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, as a prime recipient of federal contracts and...
- The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $386,035 grant from NASA's Shared Services Center for research titled "Ten-Year NEOWISE+WISE Lightcurves of Young Stellar Objects: Obscured Accretion Outbursts and Long-Term Variability." The work, which commenced on March 1, 2023, will be performed in Pasadena, California, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2027. This grant is not subject to any set-aside designation and represents Caltech's continued...
This is a $435,791.99 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant will fund the analysis of exquisite stellar and planetary data collected by the Kepler spacecraft's K2 extended mission for the Upper Scorpius star-forming region, which represents a key evolutionary stage between very young and older star clusters. The primary objectives are to determine stellar rotation periods, characterize disk-related variability, search for eclipses from binary systems and young planets, and assess the frequency of close-in giant planets. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading provider of scientific research and engineering services to NASA and other federal agencies, Caltech has received over $500 million in prime contract awards over the past 5 years to support a wide range of space technology, astrophysics, and other advanced R&D initiatives.
