- This is a $99,908.57 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to conduct research on exoplanets. The research aims to study the dramatic changes that occur in the orbital, radius, and atmospheric properties of exoplanets in the first few hundred million years after their formation. This is a crucial period for evaluating models of exoplanet evolution, such as migration. The grant is a research contract with a...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AJ11G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on planets around low-metallicity stars. The $99,724.46 grant will support the analysis of data from the K2 mission to search for transiting exoplanets around a large sample of sub-solar metallicity stars. The goal is to determine the characteristics of the first stars in the galaxy to form potentially habitable planetary...
- This is a $52,989 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) for the "E014042 - CONFIRMATION OF TESS GIANT PLANETS" project. The grant is for research and will be performed in Austin, Texas. The University of Texas System, the parent organization of UT Austin, frequently receives federal research grants and contracts across a wide range of scientific and technical domains,...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on the relationship between the metallicity of stars and the formation of exoplanets. The award, which has no set-aside designation, is part of NASA's efforts to better understand planetary system formation. The University of Texas at Austin is a major research university with extensive experience in federal research grants and contracts...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin, a major research institution and component of the University of Texas System. The primary goal of the program is to determine the frequency of Jovian-size planets (0.3 - 10 Jupiter masses) within 2.5 astronomical units around single, young, Sun-like stars. This research grant, which runs from September 1, 2020 to January 31, 2024, does not have a small business or...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,998.74 grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to support research using data from the K2 mission. The grant will fund the observation and study of young star clusters and star-forming regions, including revisiting the nearby Praesepe cluster. This research will enable the discovery of young planets and eclipsing binaries, advancing the understanding of planetary and stellar evolution in the critical first...
- This is a $134,999.99 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin, a public research university. The grant will fund research on atmospheric retrieval, which is the only method for determining the properties of exoplanet atmospheres since in-situ measurements are not possible at astronomical distances. The University of Texas at Austin is the prime grantee on this award and is not a set-aside contract. The University of...
- This federal contract award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) is for a $568,757 grant to develop methods for directly imaging long-period exoplanets around nearby stars. The goal is to identify promising target stars with astrometric evidence of long-period companions, then follow up with high-contrast imaging to search for new planets. This work aligns with NASA's Exoplanet Research Program and aims to identify optimal targets for future observations with the James Webb Space...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) for research related to exoplanets. The grant has a potential value of $282,245.53 and a completion date of May 16, 2023. The contract is not set aside for any specific business type. UT Austin, a public research university, is the prime contractor for this grant. The University of Texas System, the parent organization of UT Austin, has...
- This is a $116,606.92 grant award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on analyzing Spitzer/IRAC imaging data in the CANDELS GOODS-N and Abell 2744 lensing cluster fields. The goal is to derive robust stellar masses for high-redshift galaxies in order to better understand the evolution of the stellar mass function and the effects of feedback from supernovae. This research aligns with NASA's Cosmic Origins goals....
This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to conduct research on searching for young, newly formed planets in open stellar clusters using high-precision photometry data from the K2 mission. The research is part of NASA's PICK2 program to understand the early dynamical evolution of planetary systems. UT Austin is the prime grantee and will perform this work without any set-aside designation. The research team includes an international group of experienced scientists who will analyze K2 light curves, conduct follow-up observations, and perform detailed spectral analysis to identify and characterize potential planetary candidates. The results will contribute to NASA's goals of obtaining an inventory of the diversity of planetary systems around sun-like stars and provide data complementary to the agency's TESS program and future studies with the James Webb Space Telescope.
