This is a $100,474.03 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant is part of NASA's Astrophysical Research Program and will directly benefit the agency's Exoplanet Exploration Program, which focuses on discovering and characterizing exoplanets. The contract has no set-aside designation and is for the purpose of conducting research. UC...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $389,969.67 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), for a research project titled "Understanding the Remarkable Diversity of Planetary Systems Revealed in Particular by the Kepler Mission." The project aims to assess the diversity of structural properties among protoplanetary disks and the processes that drive disk evolution, such as...
This is a $268,899.51 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant focuses on detecting the effects of stellar activity on close-in, rocky exoplanets orbiting G, K, and M dwarf stars, including the impact of high stellar coronal X-ray, extreme ultraviolet (XUV), and stellar wind mass fluxes. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program. UC Berkeley is the prime contractor, and it...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $193,601.28 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to investigate planetary systems orbiting cool dwarfs using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The grant is expected to lead to the detection of roughly 90 Earth-sized planets, 360 super-Earths, and 1,460 sub-Neptunes around nearly 1 million cool dwarf stars surveyed by...
This $59,890.08 federal grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was issued by NASA's Shared Services Center. The grant supports the Institute's research on "LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF TRANSITING EXOPLANETS WITH THE GALACTIC BULGE SURVEY." This work aligns with NASA's exoplanet research initiatives and contributes to the understanding of the origin and nature of life beyond Earth. The SETI Institute holds an Indefinite Delivery...
This is a $38,000.00 grant awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), for research related to the discovery of multiplanet systems from the Kepler mission. The grant will fund obtaining 20 second cadence observations of 915 relatively bright stars to enrich the sample of multiplanet systems. This award is not set aside for any special categories of businesses. UC Berkeley, a public research university,...
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 federal contract award from NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) is for research to investigate the co-evolution of exoplanets and debris disks. The $598,308.32 grant will fund research to address unanswered questions about the formation and behavior of planetary systems discovered around nearby stars, which are analogous to the late heavy bombardment period in the solar system's history. As a public research university, UC Berkeley has a long history of conducting...
This $53,858 federal grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "Quantifying and Correcting for Stellar Contamination in Transmission Spectra is Key to Obtain Robust Measurements of Exoplanet Atmospheres." The grant will support the development of an open-source model to address the challenge of stellar contamination in observations of exoplanet...
This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to study the mass and radius of small exoplanets detected by the Kepler and K2 space telescopes. The goal is to obtain mass measurements with 15% precision in order to better understand the composition and potential habitability of these planets. The grant will fund new K2 observations, as well as follow-up radial velocity measurements using...
