- 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...
This is a $149,954.24 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The grant is for a large K2 program to monitor approximately 10,000 bright galaxies per campaign over three campaigns, with the goal of identifying at least 15 supernovae light curves. The research under this grant builds on AURA's prior work analyzing data from the Kepler space telescope to study supernovae and active galactic nuclei. AURA has a history of conducting astronomical research and providing operations and management services for NASA space telescopes and observatories through prime federal contracts and grants. This award does not have a set-aside designation.
