This is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant awarded to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The purpose of the $106,206.22 grant is to study mass-losing evolved stars, specifically asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and red supergiant (RSG) stars, in the Milky Way galaxy's bulge region. This builds upon AURA's previous work analyzing evolved stars in the Magellanic Clouds. The research aims to understand how stellar metallicity affects dust production and mass-loss rates in these evolved stars, which contribute to the formation of planetary systems. AURA will use radiative transfer models and Spitzer Space Telescope data to identify and characterize the evolved star populations in the galactic bulge. This research supports NASA's astrophysics programs and strategic goals to expand scientific knowledge of the universe. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
