- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,998.74 grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to support research using data from the K2 mission. The grant will fund the observation and study of young star clusters and star-forming regions, including revisiting the nearby Praesepe cluster. This research will enable the discovery of young planets and eclipsing binaries, advancing the understanding of planetary and stellar evolution in the critical first...
- This is a $300,018 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Villanova University to validate and expand the testing of asteroseismology, the study of the internal structure of stars through their oscillations. The grant aims to reanalyze the available sample of red giant binary stars and expand it by over 50% to provide a robust benchmark for the asteroseismic community to fine-tune their methods. The goal is to improve the accuracy of asteroseismic...
- This $249,795.91 federal grant was awarded to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for the "Confirmation and Characterization of Small TESS Planets 2023" research project, which does not have a set-aside designation. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is a non-profit organization that conducts scientific research, instrumentation...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $495,204.93 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to conduct research on the origins and evolution of close binary star systems. The research will involve a two-pronged approach, including high-resolution 3D hydrodynamic numerical experiments to model the interactions of binary stars with their natal disks, as well as the construction of mock populations of close binaries and triple...
- This is a $36,613 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. The grant, titled "DISK DETECTIVE V2.0 IDENTIFYING UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTELLAR DISKS VIA CITIZEN SCIENCE", is for research and is set to run until May 7, 2025. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is a non-profit organization that conducts scientific research, instrumentation development, and data...
- This $395,836.39 federal grant award to the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) is for a research project to measure the masses of exoplanets discovered by the K2 mission. The goal is to determine the conditions under which planets retain or lose their primordial gas envelopes, shedding light on the formation and evolution of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. The research will utilize the HARPS-N high-precision radial velocity spectrograph to measure the masses of at least 10...
- This is a $241,963 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution. The grant is for the "XARM RESOLVE SPECTRA OF 1E 0102.2-7219 AND N132D" project, which will likely support the Smithsonian's work in astrophysics, solar physics, exoplanets, planetary atmospheres, and heliophysics. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory has a...
- This is a $230,326.35 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to conduct research on using single-lined eclipsing binary (SLEB) stars as a way to better understand the physical properties of M dwarf stars. This grant is part of NASA's efforts to improve the accuracy of models for M dwarf interiors and stellar parameters, which are critical for exoplanet discovery and characterization around...
