- 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...
- 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 $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 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 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $100,000.00 grant is for the discovery and vetting of exoplanets observed by the K2 mission, a continuation of the Kepler space telescope program. The goal is to create a catalog of well-vetted exoplanets suitable for follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope and other facilities. The...
- 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 $399,508.01 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) will fund research to directly characterize the atmospheres of exoplanets using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy. The research aims to measure molecular species like water, carbon monoxide, and methane in the atmospheres of nearby Jupiter- and Neptune-sized exoplanets, in order to understand their atmospheric composition, temperature...
- This federal contract award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university, is for the "K2 Young Suns Survey" project. The award amount is $99,889.27 and the period of performance runs from August 29, 2015 to August 28, 2017. The contract seeks to obtain light curve data for over 1,000 low-mass members of the Pleiades, Hyades, and Praesepe open clusters during Campaigns 4 and 5 of the K2 mission. The data will be used to: (a) determine the...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization. The grant's purpose is to create a publicly available catalog of well-vetted exoplanets discovered by the K2 mission, suitable for follow-up by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and other facilities. The work involves observing approximately 6,000 bright, dwarf stars over Campaigns 8 and 10 of the K2 mission, which is expected...
