This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is a $596,836.50 grant for research on the magnetic behavior and dynamo processes of M-type stars. The research aims to understand how these stars, which are becoming primary targets in the search for Earth-like exoplanets, can exhibit intense magnetic activity and flaring despite their modest luminosities. The award is funded by the...
This federal contract award, valued at $331,683.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Denver, a private research university located in Denver, Colorado. The award is funding continued research into simultaneous probing of the ionized, atomic, molecular gas, and dust components in planetary nebulae using data from the Herschel Space Observatory.
The research aims to enhance the understanding of circumstellar environments by performing broadband thermal dust emission fitting and far-infrared line diagnostics to establish the mass distribution of dust and the different gas components. This will allow the creation of empirically-sound gas-to-dust mass ratio maps to investigate potential time variations in the mass loss history. The research also involves photoionization modeling to establish the 3D physical and chemical stratification within the nebulae. The award does not have a set-aside designation and the University of Denver is serving as the prime contractor, potentially partnering with other institutions and organizations on various aspects of the project.
