- This award is a $395,953.31 grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley to develop an open-source computational toolbox for modeling and analyzing data from galaxy redshift surveys. The goal is to enable more robust extraction of cosmological information, such as the expansion history of the universe and growth of large-scale structure, from these surveys, including those planned for the upcoming Wide-Field...
- This is a $324,893.42 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to develop methods for producing accurate photometric redshifts required for the weak lensing dark energy measurements of the WFIRST space telescope. The research aims to map the relationship between WFIRST's multi-color data and galaxy redshifts, in order to minimize the need for spectroscopic training data and provide improved Bayesian priors for template-fitting redshift...
- 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...
- This is a $312,508.68 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration. The purpose of the grant is to develop algorithms for deblending and performing consistent photometry on images from the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). This is a crucial step for determining accurate photometric redshifts of galaxies detected by WFIRST, which is a key...
- The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), has been awarded a $39,989 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to investigate the nature of super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe). The goal of this proposal is to study SLSNe, as described in the original solicitation. As the parent organization, the State of California Controllers Office will administer any funding provided to UC...
- This is a $38,909.08 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for a research project titled "Detailed Mapping of Extreme Mass-Loss from Evolved Massive Stars with SWIFT." The award is for the period from April 15, 2022 to April 13, 2024. UC Berkeley is conducting this research as the prime contractor, and the award is not set aside for any particular business type. The parent organization for UC...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $105,273 grant award on January 1, 2022, from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on monitoring the hard X-ray evolution of the young supernova remnant G1.9+0.3 and improving NuSTAR upper limits of its 44-titanium emission. The research will be performed in Albany, California, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2024. This grant award was made without set-aside designation, indicating open competition based on technical...
- This is a $375,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is for research related to the formation and evolution of massive stars and star clusters, particularly in the context of observations from the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The research aims to simulate the formation of individual massive stars and star...
- This is a $683,749.00 grant for research 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. The grant is not set aside for any specific business type. The grant aims to enact a "true paradigm shift" in the understanding of classical novae, which are eruptions on the surface of a white dwarf star. The University of California, Berkeley, a public research university,...
- 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 $414,349.31 grant award from NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for the WFIRST-AFTA Supernova Cosmology Program. The goal is to further develop analysis algorithms and approaches to optimize and refine the requirements for the WFIRST instrument to achieve the best possible supernova cosmology measurements. This work will build on a prior, robustly-designed program that used the WFIRST imager and integral field spectrograph to discover supernova candidates and characterize them to minimize systematic errors. The award is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle, and UC Berkeley will be the prime recipient performing the research. This grant supports NASA's preparatory studies for the upcoming Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission, which will conduct dark energy and exoplanet research.
