This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to conduct research on searching for young, newly formed planets in open stellar clusters using high-precision photometry data from the K2 mission. The research is part of NASA's PICK2 program to understand the early dynamical evolution of planetary systems. UT Austin is the prime grantee and will perform this work without any set-aside designation. The...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The grant, valued at $132,904.96, is to analyze the transit times of Kepler planets to confirm the planet nature of small planets in systems with multiple planet candidates, constrain or identify the presence of additional non-transiting planets, and eliminate astrophysical false...
This $475,006 grant was awarded by NASA to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to help improve the reliability and sensitivity of the Kepler mission's planet candidate catalog. The goal is to produce a more comprehensive catalog of Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby Sun-like stars, which is critical information for the design of future flagship missions like HabEx and LUVOIR that aim to directly image Earth-like planets. The work will involve applying advanced...
This is a $482,923 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) for research to improve the characterization of exoplanets discovered by the Kepler, K2, and Tess missions. The research aims to better determine the compositions of small exoplanets, including those near the size of Earth, by refining the measurements of their radii and, in some cases, their masses. The project will leverage photodynamical...
This $639,996.00 grant award to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas, will leverage data from NASA's Kepler, K2, and TESS missions as well as observations from the Keck/KPF and WIYN/NEID spectrographs to measure the masses and sizes of over 40 sub-Neptune sized exoplanets. The research program aims to empirically test the "water world" hypothesis and maximize the scientific return of past and ongoing exoplanet...
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...
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission awarded a $52,500 grant to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, to develop a citizen science project to analyze TESS mission light curve data. The goal is to supplement automated data analysis pipelines and identify unusual transiting systems that may be missed. This grant, awarded by NASA, does not have a set-aside designation. The SETI Institute has held numerous research contracts and grants from NASA and the National...
This is a federal grant awarded by NASA to the SETI Institute, a non-profit organization focused on astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The grant, valued at $50,000.00, is for research related to NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The research aims to discover more than 200 exoplanets in the continuous viewing zone of TESS, which will provide a valuable dataset to characterize planet and star properties, search for...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The purpose of the grant is to develop an automated and objective stellar model-fitting pipeline to analyze asteroseismic data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The award, valued at $557,334.00, is meant to improve the reliability of estimates for stellar properties like radius, mass,...
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...
