This federal contract award to Arizona State University (ASU) was issued by the Goddard Space Center, a civilian agency, to support research related to the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission. The $971,324 firm-fixed price contract tasked ASU with performing studies to optimize WFIRST investigations in areas such as characterizing star formation history, active galactic nucleus activity, and the neutral fraction of the intergalactic medium across redshifts. The work involves...
This federal contract award to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), doing business as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), is to support NASA's WFIRST-AFTA mission. The $286,884.47 grant will fund modeling and simulations to better understand how the WFIRST-AFTA space telescope can detect and characterize exoplanets and their circumstellar debris disks. This work will complement ongoing efforts by the WFIRST-AFTA Science Definition Team. The...
This is a $149,967 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to develop simulation tools to evaluate the impact of mission design parameters on the ability of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets (AFTA) to constrain cosmological parameters related to inflation and dark energy. The grant is focused on assessing how variations in factors like sky area, observing duration,...
This federal contract award, valued at $103,762.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), operating as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). The award is part of NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission and focuses on analyzing the atmospheric composition, clouds, and spectral signatures of directly imaged exoplanets that the WFIRST-AFTA (Astrophysics...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0200, was granted to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a medium-deep survey of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) using 18 Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) fields across 7 filters. The $2,174,803 grant, awarded on September 16, 2018, will support this research project with a completion date of September 15, 2026.
ASU, the prime contractor, is a comprehensive public research university located in Tempe, Arizona. It has a long history of...
This federal contract award with ID NNX15AK69G was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to investigate the potential for NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) to characterize and discriminate exoplanets from background sources. The $465,434 grant will support a 3-year research effort to map the capability of WFIRST's coronagraph instrument to detect and analyze the atmospheric...
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...
This federal contract award, valued at $323,193.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to conduct a detailed study of the scientific capabilities of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope - Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets (WFIRST-AFTA) coronagraph.
