Caltech, a private research university focused on science and engineering, will perform the research work under this grant, which aims to expand the...
- This is a $75,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project aimed at probing the structure of planetary systems and its dependency on the host star mass. The goal is to continue the characterization of Kepler planet host stars, extending it to lower-mass systems, to explore different irradiation environments and address the radius-flux distribution of planets as a function of stellar...
- This is a $473,985.71 grant awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to collect and organize data from NASA's major observatories and survey missions on young stars and star-forming regions. The award is part of NASA's Star and Planet Formation Science program and will involve aggregating relevant photometric and spectroscopic data to serve it in a searchable format. Caltech is a private research university with extensive experience supporting NASA and Department of...
- This is a $6,590.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to develop "Relativistic Accretion Disk Reflection Models for the New Era of X-Ray Astronomy." The award supports fundamental research in astrophysics and does not utilize any set-aside designations. Caltech, a leading private research university, has extensive experience receiving federal grants and contracts from...
- This is a $83,626.14 grant for research awarded to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the contract ID 80NSSC22K0967. The grant is for a research project titled "TIDAL DISRUPTION EVENTS IN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI" with a period of performance from April 21, 2022 to February 7, 2024. Caltech is a private research university focused on science and engineering, and has received over $500 million in prime federal...
- This is a $435,791.99 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant will fund the analysis of exquisite stellar and planetary data collected by the Kepler spacecraft's K2 extended mission for the Upper Scorpius star-forming region, which represents a key evolutionary stage between very young and older star clusters. The primary objectives are to determine stellar...
- This $100,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to search for transiting planets orbiting FGK dwarf stars in the K2 fields. The project has two objectives: 1) to measure variations in the occurrence rate of planets as a function of sky position, sampling different star formation environments and stellar densities, and 2) to discover small planets suitable for high-precision Doppler spectroscopy to...
- This is a $398,685.53 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to the "origin of stars that make up our universe." The grant, which has a performance period ending on May 18, 2023, aligns with one of the goals outlined in NASA's 2014 Science Plan. Caltech, a private research university focused on science and engineering, has received over $500 million in prime federal...
- This is a $688,325 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on how stellar multiplicity, or the presence of multiple stars in a system, can influence planet formation processes. The award is not associated with a set-aside contract and the work is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2026. As a leading research university with extensive experience supporting NASA and Department of Defense...
- This is a $66,384 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on "Understanding Obscuration in Dipping Blackhole Binaries". The grant is a research contract with a period of performance from February 2024 to February 2026. Caltech is a private research university that has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years, primarily from NASA and the...
This is a $103,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to develop a theory reconciling disk-driven migration with spin-orbit misalignments in extrasolar planetary systems. The research aims to understand how companion stars can gravitationally torque protoplanetary disks out of alignment with their host stars, resulting in misaligned planetary orbits. The three-year project will involve theoretical modeling, magnetohydrodynamic simulations, and statistical analysis to generate predictions that can be compared to observations. As a private research university, Caltech is a major recipient of federal contracts and grants from NASA, the Department of Defense, and other agencies to conduct scientific and engineering research. This award is not associated with a set-aside program.
